Cape Town to Mombasa
Cosmopolitan Cape Town is the starting point for this adventure from South to East Africa. We go first to Mossel Bay, a lively coastal town on South Africa’s Garden Route where you might glimpse whales and dolphins. Then it’s on to the beautiful beaches of Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) and the wildlife-rich game reserves of East London. Stops in Durban and Richards Bay bring more chances to experience South Africa’s glorious coastal scenery and marine life before we cross into Mozambique to visit its capital, Maputo. Two sea days take us further up Africa’s east coast while you enjoy the comforts onboard, and then we arrive on the Island of Mozambique. Connected to the mainland by bridge, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site with amazing architecture against an incredible tropical backdrop. Another sea day takes us to the dreamy island of Zanzibar in Tanzania before our final port of call, Mombasa in Kenya, which serves as the gateway to awe-inspiring safaris.
