The continent has a bewildering range of breathtaking scenery, from the rippling dunes of the Namib Desert to the jagged mountains and deep canyons of the Great Rift Valley. Marvel at the savannahs of the Serengeti and the snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro watching majestically over the valleys below. Don't forget Table Mountain awaits when we stop at Cape Town's cruise terminal.

WILDLIFE AND HISTORY

At every turn, ancient rites and traditions can be found. From the Great Pyramids of Giza and Bedouin treks to the Kasbah of Algiers, a UNESCO World Heritage site, interaction with the illuminating historical sites is unavoidable when you cruise North Africa.

Visit wildlife game reserves that will reduce you to complete astonishment. Watch wild beasts in action in the Masai Mara or a battle of wits between predator and prey in the Kruger National Park.

The breadth of experiences that awaits this mysterious, majestic continent demands many journeys. Fred. Olsen has made it more convenient to cruise Africa from the UK thanks to our no-fly cruises, calling at Southampton.
