Itinerary

• Mauritius… start your holiday with three nights at the 4-star Jalsa Beach Hotel and Spa, overlooking a stunning turquoise lagoon on the northeast coast of Mauritius. You'll then board Norwegian Dawn at Port Louis. 
• Pointe Des Galets, Reunion… with its lush rainforests and beaches bordering coral reefs, this volcanic island will dazzle you with its natural splendour.
• Fort Dauphin, Madagascar… this beautiful peninsula is rich in history and culture and well-known for its beautiful beaches and delicious lobster.
• Pomene, Mozambique… this idyllic and unexplored strip of sand in the Pomene Bay boasts stunning beaches, blue lagoons, a protected mangrove estuary, coral reefs, and some of the best diving in the world.
• Maputo… the capital city is a melting pot of cultures with diverse restaurants, a rich arts scene, and plenty of historic sites.
• Richards Bay, South Africa… spend the day walking through the Umlalazi Nature Reserve, where you can spot one of the rarest birds of prey in South Africa, the Palm-Nut vulture.
• Port Elizabeth... has some of the best beaches in South Africa, and whales and dolphins cavort on the horizon year-round.
• Mossel Bay… this coastal city is famous for its oysters and wine, so we highly recommend sampling the award-winning grapes of the Winelands.
• Cape Town… You'll end your trip with two nights at the 4-star Cresta Grande at the base of the iconic Table Mountain, with views of Devil's Peak. You'll also get a full-day safari at the Aquila Game Reserve, where you can spot the famous "Big Five".
