Take a luxury cruise to Africa as it is thrilling, exciting and full of surprises. From Mossel Bay to Mombasa and Lomé to La Digue, your journey will take you to destinations that many Westerners never get a chance to experience.
Learn about everyday life in one of the tiny countries along the West African coast, or wonder at the incredible power and beauty of the animal kingdom on a safari in South Africa or a birdwatching excursion in the Seychelles. When you choose to travel in this region, you can be sure that your voyage will be extraordinary.
Explore South Africa’s “Mother City”, where the iconic Table Mountain invites discovery and the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden enchants. Take in the astonishing scenery of the Cape Peninsula, explore history at Robben Island, visit up-and coming art galleries, and enjoy the vintages of Stellenbosch and Franschoek.
Enjoy boat tours along the coast or 4×4 tours to the bird colonies on the Lagoon Sandwich Harbour.
A tour to “Dune7” (the highest dune in the area) on the outskirts of the city is pretty spectacular.
Giant sculpted elephant tusks span the entry to the island where Mombasa perches, a symbol of how wildlife is honoured in Kenya. Indigenous wildlife can be seen in Haller Park, Mombasas largest animal sanctuary. Dont miss monumental Fort Jesus, built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, or the Old Town, which is decidedly Arabic.
Male offers the best chance to see the “real” Maldives as it drives the Maldives economy; it is the centre of where everything happens and the forum for the country’s political struggles.
Mahe offers visitors a lot of opportunities for adventure or relaxation with their dense forests, rare endemic flora and crystal clear water surrounding the island. Lounge under swaying palms on powdery white sands or enjoy taking a hike, going for a surf, or even snorkelling.
Off the coast of Tanzania lies the island of Zanzibar. It is a sensual paradise of aromas from locally grown spices and fruits, peaceful beaches, and the sounds of the markets echoing through the Arabic alleyways of Stone Town.
