PORTS OF CALL
Mossel Bay, South Africa
An endless string of beaches and more than 300 days of sunshine
a year make Mossel Bay a popular holiday hotspot and magnet for
surfers. The town’s Dias Museum offers unique insight into local
maritime history as well as a full-size replica of the famed ship,
Dias Caravel.
Richards Bay, South Africa
Once a sleepy fishing village, Richards Bay is the thriving economic
hub of Northern KwaZulu-Natal. Beneath its bustling, industrial veneer,
South Africa’s largest harbor town offers scenic wetlands, unspoiled
beaches, and a gateway to Zululand, one of Sub-Saharan Africa’s most
fascinating kingdoms.
Maputo, Mozambique
Intent on recapturing its former glamour, the Pearl of the Indian Ocean
once again attracts the rich and famous. Acacia-lined avenues and a
lively waterfront draw in visitors from around the world, while tales of the
city’s poignant colonial history can be found in local museums.
Durban, South Africa
British colonial architecture reigns in Durban, yet natural beauty is what
characterizes this delightful city on the Indian Ocean. Its Golden Mile
beach area attracts sunbathers, of course, but also shoppers and those
who enjoy walking the promenade. The Juma Masjid deserves a visit,
as it’s the largest mosque in the Southern hemisphere.
East London, South Africa
The nation’s only port on a river, East London stretches along the banks
of the Buffalo and is revered for its unspoiled beaches. Although links
to England are apparent, East London still bears a distinct South African
ambience.
Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Described as ”the friendly city,” P.E.—as it’s known by the locals—may
be small in size but boasts beautiful beaches and an authentic charm.
Central, the old town, is home to well-preserved historic buildings and
Parliament Street.
Walvis Bay, Namibia
On the edge of the great Namib Desert and home to an astounding
natural lagoon, Walvis Bay claims a resplendent natural backdrop as
well as the finest harbor on the Namib coast. Just outside of town is
Dune 7, a towering sand dune that rewards climbers with spectacular
panoramas.
Cape Town, South Africa
At the foot of majestic Table Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, lies beautiful Cape Town, a breathtaking city famed for its
astounding landscape, historic landmarks, and handsome Cape Dutch
architecture.
