"Unity in Diversity" 

Because of the strategic importance of its Cape Sea Route and comparatively early immigration of Europeans, South Africa's history has been considerably different from that of other African nations. Human triumphs and the people and events that occurred during the latter decades of the twentieth century have developed a nation of many cultures, whose national motto "unity in diversity" describes their nation of nearly 44 million people and whose coastline stretches to more than 2,500 meters (1,550 miles).

 

 

We begin in the Stellenbosch wine country and the Cape Peninsula mountains.  We journey  east, to see  the Victorian architecture of Port Elizabeth, the Addo Elephant National Park and Hluhluwe-Umfolozi National Park, the extensive acacia woodland home to the rare black rhino.

Our cruise price includes all activities on terra firma, from guided tours and meals to special performances and in-country transportation. This reflects our philosophy that each leg of the journey is an integral part of the whole experience.

In creating a thematic itinerary, we ask, What gives a destination a sense of place? Is it the architecture? A statue in a museum? And what can cuisine tell us about a culture? Or music or dance? Each day invites our guests to explore these questions without their having to decide whether to spring for another indulgence. It’s all of a piece, a voyage of discovery.
