About capeverde.com
Hello, may I introduce myself?
I am Daniel, founder of capeverde.com. With more than 25 years of experience in the Cape Verde islands, I publish information and travel advice about the archipelago here. Everything you read on this site is written by hand, not by AI. The content is based on personal, long-standing experience and on knowledge that I keep verifying and updating on the ground.
My story
On my first trip to Cape Verde in 2001 I was so taken by the people, the culture, the music and the landscape that in 2002 I emigrated to the islands – to Santo Antão, still my favourite island today.
Back then there was barely any tourism. What little there was existed almost entirely on Sal, which had no more than a handful of small hotels.
As early as 2001 I put CaboVerde24.com online: a Cape Verde portal and web directory, complete with a forum, in five languages (German, English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese).
That early success as an online pioneer in Cape Verde led to further projects over the following years – among them ecaboverde.com, the first photo portal, where thousands of travellers published their Cape Verde photographs, and CaboVerdeProperty.com, the first property portal for the islands.
In 2007 I launched Kapverden.de, the first Cape Verde portal with genuinely detailed content about the islands. In 2013 I filmed the first island video series for it, which was shot again from scratch in 2023.
The English version, capeverde.com, followed in 2010.
Alongside all this I built Aldeia Manga on Santo Antão and opened it in 2008 – the first eco-lodge in the Cape Verde islands.
My years on the islands and the contacts that came with them allowed me to begin working closely with travel agencies based in Cape Verde, run by long-established teams who have worked reliably and conscientiously here for many years. The tours are thoroughly reviewed on a regular basis, so that what is offered is always the best it can be.
My favourite islands:
1. Santo Antão – in the green valleys, surrounded by high mountains, I feel at home.
2. São Nicolau – still largely undiscovered, an island where the clocks seem to have stopped.
3. Fogo – the volcano and its crater are a genuinely powerful experience.
Enjoy discovering the Cape Verde Islands!
Daniel
