Beyond incredible wildlife, stunning natural landscapes, and cuisines bursting with flavor, its 1.3 billion people and 3,000+ languages make this continent truly unique. Come explore Marrakech, Dar Es Salaam, Nairobi and Cape Town with Remote Year. You’ll be glad you did.

The genuine connections I’ve made have been life changing.
The genuine connections I’ve made have been life changing. I now feel like I am a part of a broader family of open-minded and curious “citizens of the world.” As a solo, single woman, Remote Year has given me the confidence to feel safe and comfortable with exploring new cities/countries, which has broadened my perspective and given me a true appreciation for the cultures and people of those places I’ve visited.

The coolest, most creative, easiest, and safest way to travel
The coolest, most creative, easiest, and safest way to travel. Having local City Managers in each location was an amazing way to immerse ourselves authentically, and the people you meet during your travels are kind, resourceful, respectful, adventurous, and just plain fun! I would recommend Remote Year 10,000 times over.
Emile
This is how everyone should travel
If you’re looking to experience the world from the eyes of real humans trying to do actual good for the world, Remote Year is the place to go. Come ready to be part of a strong and lively community – it’s worth it. This is how everyone should travel and I can’t thank Remote Year enough for all of the experiences and people I’ve met along the way.
