When it comes to cruise travel, Africa is an unforgettable destination that blends adventure, culture, and natural beauty in every port of call. While iconic wildlife safaris and Mount Kilimanjaro may steal the spotlight, there’s so much more waiting along Africa’s diverse coastline.
From the golden beaches of South Africa to the spice-scented streets of Zanzibar, Africa offers cruise passengers a vibrant mix of experiences. Sail into bustling harbours lined with ancient architecture, explore vibrant markets alive with colour and rhythm, or marvel at the stark beauty of deserts meeting the sea.
An African cruise isn’t just a journey — it’s a chance to explore rich histories, sample incredible cuisine, witness untamed nature, and immerse yourself in cultures that are as warm and welcoming as the sun-soaked shores. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adrenaline, Africa delivers adventure with every wave.
Wildlife is at the heart of every South African journey. Visitors flock to safaris to see the iconic ‘Big Five’—lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo. But the country’s waters are just as remarkable, teeming with colourful marine life, playful dolphins, majestic whales, and the famous African penguin. For the truly adventurous, cage diving with great white sharks offers an exhilarating experience like no other.
But it’s not just the wildlife that makes South Africa special—its cities are just as exciting. In Cape Town, take a cable car to the top of Table Mountain, hike up Lion’s Head for sweeping views, or visit Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was once imprisoned. Johannesburg, meanwhile, is a buzzing metropolis full of trendy bars, world-class shopping, and cutting-edge art galleries.
Since the late 1990s, Morocco has provided a refreshing alternative to traditional holidays. Our tours take you from the Atlantic coast to vibrant Marrakech and the breathtaking Atlas Mountains. While July and August are peak travel months, there’s always space to explore and unwind.
Agadir, with its six miles of coastline and 300 days of sunshine, attracts millions annually. For a quieter experience, head to Taghazout, a charming surf village offering an authentic taste of Moroccan coastal life.
No trip is complete without Marrakech. Its lively souks, grand palaces, and vibrant Jemaa el-Fna square—filled with street performers and delicious food—create an unforgettable atmosphere, especially at night.
Whether exploring Marrakech, relaxing on the coast, or hiking the Atlas Mountains, Morocco promises unforgettable experiences. Contact our travel experts to tailor your perfect Moroccan escape.
Whether you’re soaking up the sun on the beach, exploring the dramatic landscapes, or diving into local culture, Cape Verde promises a holiday you won’t forget.
