Travel

55-plussers LOVE to travel – within South Africa and abroad. Travel is an excellent way to stay young in spirit, stimulate the mind, connect with other travellers, and have fun. The YEI Travel page will keep you up to date with great senior-friendly destinations, a great variety of travel options, tips for solo travellers and pet-friendly accommodation, and key information for mature travellers.  Let’s not forget – tons of great pensioner deals. YEI Travel brings you a broad range of relevant, on-point, informative articles written by travel experts. You will also find YEI articles, often with a view from subject matter experts.  These articles are specifically geared at 55-plussers.
