Africa & the Indian Ocean Islands
Join Boudicca in Cape Town for a cruise along South Africa’s stunning coastline, stopping at fascinating destinations along the way. There will be chances to encounter fascinating wildlife, from going in search of the ‘Big Five’ on safari to cage diving with sharks. That’s not all, the unmissable experiences of riding a cable car up iconic Table Mountain and discovering the traditions of the Zulu Kingdom will make for an enthralling trip.
Cape Town
Addo Elephant National Park
After joining Boudicca in Cape Town you’ll begin your epic journey of discovery along South Africa’s beautiful coastline, starting with a call into Port Elizabeth. There are two full days in ‘The Friendly City’, with ample opportunity to indulge in the ultimate safari experience. Go in search of the ‘Big Five’ at the Kariega or Lalibela game reserves; view elephants from a 4X4 at the Addo Elephant Park; or stay in a five- star game lodge at the Pumba Private Game Reserve.
An overnight in Richards Bay follows, from where you’ll have the chance to encounter even more African wildlife, including rare White Rhinos, at the Hluhluwe Game Reserve, while a tour of Dumazulu offers a fascinating insight into the way of life in the Zulu Kingdom. Hear the beat of Zulu drums, taste the locally brewed beer and see Zululand’s famous beadwork, basketry, pottery and weaving.
The next two days will be spent in Durban. The city has a great advantage, namely in its close proximity to the mystical Valley of a Thousand Hills, making exploration of a traditional Zulu village a possibility. Alternatively, search for big game at the Tala Game
Cape Town
Reserve, or tour Durban’s scenic coast, home to golden beaches, endless fields of sugarcane and the UNESCO-listed Greater St Lucia Wetland Park.
Boudicca then heads to Mossel Bay, from where you can discover stunning scenery and an abundance of fauna. Travel by boat to nearby Seal Island and you’ll find over 2,500 Cape Fur Seals; visit Knysna, South Africa’s favourite holiday town on the picturesque Garden Route; or for the more daring, perhaps opt for a cage diving experience with sharks.
The cruise comes to an end in Cape Town, where you’ll have almost three days to explore before heading home. There’s plenty to be ticked off your list, from the stunning scenery at Cape Point and the penguins at Boulders Beach, to iconic Table Mountain, the city’s most celebrated landmark. Visit the famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens; learn more of Nelson Mandela’s inspirational life on Robben Island; or tour the scenic Winelands. An evening watching the sunset at Signal Hill is also highly recommended. These incredible experiences make for a fascinating trip that will live forever in your memory.
