Africa
A look at Africa’s rivers
From the riches of the Nile to the breathtaking wild terrains of the Chobe River in Botswana, cruising along Africa’s rivers offers a luxurious gateway to experience the continent’s deep cultural legacy and magnificent natural wonders.
The expansive and beautiful continent of Africa is often hailed as the cradle of humankind, renowned as the dwelling of some of the world’s oldest and most fascinating civilizations. During an African river cruise, you will learn about the historical background of the place you explore, be it the ancient shrines and pyramids, or the relatively modern history of the South African apartheid.
Africa’s premier river cruise destination is none other than the Nile, the iconic river that charts the course of one of humanity’s most extraordinary civilizations. Cruises usually set sail from Luxor, meandering gently past an array of awe-inspiring archaeological wonders like Abu Simbel, Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, and the burial site of Hatshepsut, finishing in Aswan. Consult our experts to extend your vacation with a lavish stay in Cairo, which includes a guided tour of the Pyramids or perhaps an opulent beach getaway in Sharm el Sheik.
Further south on the continent, the spotlight shifts to Botswana’s Chobe River. Navigating through zones abundant in wildlife, you’ll have the unique opportunity to evade the masses, venturing into territories that are inaccessible by land. Keep an eye out for significant herds of elephants and antelopes, in addition to hippos and crocodiles, before making stops in local villages to witness the daily lives of the inhabitants.
