Africa Cruises

Cape Town is the most common port, and sailing into Table Bay with Table Mountain behind the city is a good arrival. East African ports like Zanzibar and Madagascar appear on longer itineraries. Some South Africa sailings combine with Mozambique or Namibia. Wildlife excursions are the main draw at most stops.
