The Cruise Indian Ocean Association (CIOA) has a mission to promote eastern and southern Africa and the Indian Ocean

islands as a destination with huge potential.

Following a major promotional event in Durban to coincide with Africa’s top travel

show, Tourism Indaba, the CIOA is targeting the major cruise ship operators. In

particular, the association wants to persuade cruise lines to stage more ships in the

region at various times of the year.

Part of its strategy will be to invite cruise line executives to visit the region and see

for themselves what it has to offer. This will give them a clearer understanding of

the many advantages of staging or routeing their vessels along the African coastline.

Over the next two years or so, a significant number of new and mostly very large

cruise ships are due to enter service. As a result, there will be a cascading down of

medium-sized cruise ships – and these vessels will be looking for new market areas.

Summer

Currently, the Johannesburg-based company Starlight Cruises, in association with

MSC Cruises, stages one or sometimes two cruise ships in Durban in summer.

From November 2008 to April 2009 two of these ships, ‘Melody’ and ‘Rhapsody’,

operated from Durban and Cape Town. In November 2009 another of their ships,

the 2,000-passenger ‘Sinfonia’, will arrive in South Africa to operate summer cruises

from Durban to the Mozambique coast and islands.

Several other companies, including Hebridean Cruises, positioned ships in

southern Africa for an extended season during the recent southern summer, while

a number of German companies operated multiple cruises out of South Africa,

making use of fly-cruise operations for their predominantly European passengers.

Other ships paid visits, either on world cruises or undertaking round-Africa cruises

or on repositioning voyages.

Clearly, the region is already attracting a growing number of traditional cruise ship

visits and the CIOA hopes to build on this trend. Internationally, about �3 million

people went cruising in 2008. Today, many customers are looking to more unusual

and adventurous destinations beyond the traditional cruising grounds of the

Caribbean and Mediterranean – and operators are keen to find new unexplored

destinations to cater for this growing appetite.

For those planning cruise itineraries, the eastern

side of Africa, together with the spectacular islands

of the Indian Ocean, offer a world of multifarious

and exciting opportunities. They include shore visits

to big game parks and exotic wildlife, magnificent

scenery including spectacular mountain ranges,

tropical islands both uninhabited and occupied, good

weather for most of the year, great port cities to visit

and new cultures and histories to explore.

Heritage

Not the least of these is Kenya – of particular

interest to American visitors because of the Obama

connection – while relics of the slave trade can be

found on the spice islands of Madagascar, Pemba and

Zanzibar. Theme cruises featuring these ingredients

have proved very popular with passengers searching

for a bit of their own personal history and heritage.

Figures issued by the Cruise Lines International

Association (CLIA) show the economic value of

persuading cruise operators to bring more of their

vessels to Africa. The CLIA says a ship carrying

2,000 passengers and 950 crew generates an

average of US$322,705 (R2.7 million) spending per

call in a home port, while a similar ship making

port-of-call visits generates US$275,000 (R2.3million)

in onshore spending.

Holidays

Not only that, but research has shown that between

50 and 70 per cent of passengers say they would like

to return for land-based holidays after visiting a new

country for the first time.

Page 8: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

Renowned as one of the world’s most beautiful cities, Cape Town is a jewel in any cruise itinerary. The view of the harbour from the

sea, with its magnificent backdrop of Table Mountain, is particularly fine and justly famous.

Cape Town is situated in Table Bay, �20 nautical miles northwest of Cape Agulhas,

the most southerly point in Africa, where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic.

The port lies on one of the world’s busiest trade routes and its strategic and

economic importance can hardly be overstated.

There are two dock areas within the port: the larger outer Ben Schoeman Dock, where

the container terminal is located, and the older inner Duncan Dock, with multipurpose

and fruit terminals, a dry dock, a repair quay and a tanker

basin. There is also a large yacht marina.

Cruise ships

Cape Town is a key destination for cruise ships including

vessels engaged in round-the-world voyages. The port

is also used by some cruise operators as a home-porting

hub for the exchange of passengers.

Many of the smaller and medium-sized vessels opt

to berth at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront with its

special ambience and tourism facilities, while larger

ships berth in the main harbour. The port is open 24

hours a day but can be subject to strong winds.

The jewel in the crown

Page 9: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

Cape Town has an international airport with links

throughout the world.

Excursions

Excursions include local half-day tours through

the city to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and

panoramic views from Table Mountain over the bay,

with Robben Island and the Cape Peninsula beyond.

Passengers can visit the Castle of Good Hope, stroll in

the Dutch East India Company Gardens, call into the

parliament building to see South Africa’s new democracy

at work, or simply take some time out for relaxation and

retail therapy at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.

Cruise ships are recommended to spend more than one day in Cape Town to give

passengers a chance to enjoy its myriad attractions.

Longer tours go through the city and along the peninsula to Cape Point or to Cape

Agulhas, the most southerly point in Africa, where two oceans meet. They include

visits to the Cape Winelands and the Unesco World Heritage Site of Robben Island.

History

Cape Town was settled by the Dutch in �652 when Jan van Riebeeck established a

victualling station in Table Bay for ships of the Dutch East India Company.

The historical Victoria and Alfred basins, in the original harbour, are now home to the

famous Cape Town waterfront. They are also used for berthing small cruise ships as

well as fishing vessels, pleasure boats and other commercial vessels.

A flavour of small-town South Africa

Page 11: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

Just an overnight cruise from Durban is the Eastern Cape, the second-largest of South Africa’s nine provinces, a land of rolling

hills with a year-round holiday climate.

Its port cities of Port Elizabeth and East London (also known by the more romantic

title of Buffalo City) are leading visitor destinations. Blessed with a climate of hot

summers and warm winters, they offer visitors a friendly welcome along with a

flavour of small-town South Africa.

The cities, towns and farms of Eastern Cape are set in a landscape of natural

beauty, with mountains, rivers and unspoilt beaches. The region also has nature

and game reserves, most within easy distance of the two port cities.

Port Elizabeth

Port Elizabeth, the Friendly City, is an ideal place from which to explore the Eastern

Cape on short or long tours.

Cruise passengers can take a bus trip along the Garden Route, rejoining their ship

further west at Plettenberg Bay or Mossel Bay.

Excursions

Half-day tours include a game drive to the Addo Elephant Park, which now

contains about 400 elephants, thanks to conservation, as well as being home to

the Big Five.

Alternatively, visitors can go on a half-day city tour of Port Elizabeth including a

visit to the aquarium with its dolphin displays.

For a full-day tour, the vintage Apple Express narrow-gauge steam train departs

from within the harbour and goes to Thornhill with a photo stop at the spectacular

Van Staden’s River Bridge, the world’s highest narrow-gauge railway bridge.

Another popular full-day excursion is to Kariega Game Reserve, 90 minutes from

Port Elizabeth, for a safari drive combined with a wildlife cruise by riverboat. Lunch

is provided on board.

Visits can also be arranged to other game reserves in the area.

History

Eastern Cape was home to the first British settlers and is also the

birthplace of Nelson Mandela. The province has a special place

in the history of South Africa. For example, the world’s

9

Page 12: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

�0

oldest fossilised footprints, found at East London in �964, indicate the presence of

humans in this area some 200,000 years ago.

The earliest recognised occupants of the Eastern Cape were groups of hunter-

gatherers called the San and Khoi-Khoi. Much later, from �200 AD onwards, Xhosa-

speaking people began migrating into the region from the north. Then, from the

�500s, as a result of shipwrecks, the first Europeans came into contact with the

Xhosa and Pondo peoples.

Great Trek

A greater influx occurred in the form of white settlers as farmers trekked eastward

from the Western Cape. Later, in �820, the first of the British settlers landed at what

is now Port Elizabeth.

The surrounding countryside was the scene of many wars between the

encroaching whites and the resident black population. From this region and

time also began the Great Trek of Afrikaans-speaking people into the interior, a

development that was to have a profound effect on the history of South Africa.

Port of East London

The Port of East London is South Africa’s only remaining river port, located at the

mouth of the Buffalo River in Eastern Cape Province. Its original name was Port

Rex. The port has good rail and road connections north to the Free State and

Gauteng and southwest to KwaZulu-Natal and Port Elizabeth.

Cruise ships

A total of �7 cruise ships called East London during

the 2008/9 season. The port does not have a

dedicated cruise terminal. Cruise ships use the

most suitable berth available. F and G berths are

normally allocated to cruise ships. They provide easy

access for buses to stop alongside the ship for shore

excursions. A further two berths can be used, subject

to availability, at K berth and the car terminal.

Excursions

City tours of East London normally take half a day.

Places of interest include Nahoon Beach, site of the

oldest footprints; the German Settlers’ Memorial; Lock

Street Gaol, now a craft market; the city centre; Queen’s

Park Zoo; and the mainly black township of Mdantsane.

Longer tours include a visit to the settlement of King

William’s Town and the nearby town of Bisho, now

the seat of provincial government.

Moving on to the village of Kaya La Bantu, visitors

will learn about Xhosa culture and see Xhosa

dancing while enjoying Xhosa food. There is also an

opportunity to visit a private game reserve.

Vibrant port city of Durban is a ‘must’ call

Overlooking the Bay of Natal, framed by the Bluff headland and located on a green peninsula, Durban is renowned for its

magnificent setting.

Durban is blessed with a climate of eternal summer and generous rainfall. Its port

is the busiest in Africa and a commercial gateway to southern Africa.

Durban is also an evolving and sophisticated city of over 3 million people with a

truly African soul. As the Province of KwaZulu-Natal’s main centre of business and

industry, Durban pulses with the energy of a major port city.

Known for good reason as South Africa’s playground, Durban has some of the

finest leisure facilities anywhere. They include the world-class theme park of

uShaka Marine World, with its canals and waterways and top quality amusements

like the dolphin pool and shark aquarium. On the waterfront, the Bat Centre and

Wilson’s Wharf offer fine views of the harbour and passenger terminal.

Yusaf Dadoo (Grey) Street, in the city, is South Africa’s ‘Little India’ with its

exquisite Victoria Street Market, fragrant with spices and incense, and the nearby

Juma Masjid Mosque, largest in the Southern Hemisphere. The nearby Warwick

Triangle is a mix of traditional African markets and trading.

An outstanding feature of Durban is its spectacular beachfront, with mile after

mile of golden sands offering safe, protected swimming and surfing.

Durban is also a city of trees and gardens. Its fine

parks include the Botanical Gardens with its famous

Orchid House. Open-air concerts are held in the park

including ‘Music by the Lake’ evenings.

Golf courses

Culture lovers will find many theatres offering a variety

of entertainment. The city plays host to various

top sporting events and some of the world’s best

golf courses can be found in Durban and the

surrounding area.

Cruise organisers are strongly advised to factor some

of these sporting actives into their schedules – for

example, by arranging for golf enthusiasts to spend

a morning or afternoon on one of the excellent local

courses while the ship is in port.

Cruise ships

The Port of Durban has a well equipped passenger

terminal at N berth on the T jetty. Cruise ships use

one or more berths as required. There can be as many

as three ships berthed in the port on the same day.

Page 14: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

An attractive Harbour Expo Market is organised in the air conditioned N shed

while cruise ships are in port. There are plans to build a new cruise terminal at A

berth, near the Point Waterfront.

Cruise ships operate mostly in the summer between November and May. Each

year MSC and Starlight Cruises base a ship for all-summer cruising at Durban,

operating to destinations in Mozambique and the Indian Ocean islands. The

‘resident’ cruise ship for the 2009/�0 season will be the ‘MSC Sinfonia’. During the

20�0 FIFA World Cup tournament several cruise ships will remain in Durban to be

used as floating hotels.

The present international airport, just 20 minutes from the cruise terminal, offers

first-rate connections to key destinations in South Africa and around the world. A

brand new airport opens north of Durban in April 20�0.

Excursions

Both the city centre and the beachfront are within easy reach of the cruise terminal

either by taxi or on foot.

Even closer are the waterfront attractions of the Bat Centre and Wilson’s Wharf,

where visitors can relax over a drink and admire the panorama of small boats

and the modern harbour. The Bat Centre offers a

truly African experience, while the nearby maritime

museum has a fine collection of naval vessels,

harbour craft and tugs. Or visitors can take a ‘mini

cruise’ on a harbour ferry from Wilson’s Wharf.

Retail therapy

Sightseeing tours of the city are popular. Its many

attractions include the Botanical Gardens, the golden

beachfront, uShaka World and the Suncoast Casino.

Alternatively, there is no shortage of retail therapy in

Durban’s huge shopping malls including the Gateway

shopping and entertainment complex.

Famous names linked with Durban include Mahatma

Gandhi, who spent many of his formative years in

the city, and Winston Churchill, who addressed the

crowds there after escaping from a Boer War prison

camp. City tours of places associated with these

prominent statesmen are popular with visitors.

Other city tours include the Old Fort, scene of a Boer

War battle in �842 and now home to the Warriors’ Gate

museum and war memorial. There is also the excellent

�2

Page 15: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

�3

In the surrounding area of Umhianga (meaning ‘Place

of Reeds’ in Zulu), visitors can tour the magnificent

Hawaan coastal forest and nearby sand dunes. A long

boardwalk gives access to fine ocean views.

Popular visits also include the seaside village of

Umdoti; the sugar towns of Tongaat and Verulam; the

African township of Hambanati; the Brake Village Hindu

Temple; and the unique Shark’s Board in Umhlanga.

Longer tours of half a day or a full day can be arranged.

These tours take in a game reserve or can be combined

with a visit to Pietermaritzburg, the provincial capital

and second city of KwaZulu-Natal. Neatly laid out in a

valley surrounded by hills, it is regarded as the best

preserved Victorian city in South Africa.

About �5 minutes from Pietermaritzburg is the Tala

Game Reserve, with excellent guided game viewing

and panoramic views of the valley and bushveld.

One of the most popular tours, between half a

day and a full day, takes visitors to the Valley of

a Thousand Hills, only a 30-minute drive from

Durban along one of the most scenic routes in

the world. Here, the Zulu people continue to live in the traditional way. Visitors

can experience the Africa of yesteryear as Zulus perform traditional rites and

ceremonies. The Zulu people are renowned for their crafts, including beadwork,

carvings, pottery and weaving.

Rail buffs can take a ride in a vintage steam train along the ridge overlooking the

valley. The tour bus from the ship will meet the train before and after the ride.

Cruise ship operators are recommended to stay more than one night in Durban

in order to take advantage of excursions to such exciting areas as the Midlands

Meander, the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site and the

Battlefields Area, which includes the Zulu War sites of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift

and the Boer War sites of Colenso, Spion Kop and the Siege of Ladysmith.

History

First seen by Portuguese explorers in �497 and settled by English traders from

�823, Durban is now the main city of KwaZulu-Natal and South Africa’s third-

largest city.

Durban was the home of African tribal people for longer than recorded history.

The Zulu king, Shaka, was a frequent visitor in the early �9th century.

Durban has been a port since �839. Today it has the best managed and most

modern facilities of any harbour in Africa.

Page 17: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

For cruise ships, the major port of Richards Bay, in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal, is an ideal gateway to the heart of Zululand and

some of the best game parks and historical sites in the region. They include iSimangaliso (Greater St Lucia) Wetland Park a Unesco World Heritage Site and the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve.

Located close to places of significance in Zulu history, Richards Bay is also an ideal

base for tours of famous battlefields including Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift.

Zululand is known for its subtropical climate with fine weather all year round. In

addition to a unique and diverse cultural heritage, it has more than �00 km of

seaboard, an abundance of wildlife and a variety of spectacular scenery, from lush

subtropical coastlines to pristine forests teeming with birdlife and from sweeping

savannah to rolling hills steeped in Zulu history.

When it comes to shopping, Zululand has plenty of affordable items on offer,

from beadwork, hand-made jewellery and traditional African art to designer

labels, diamonds and precious stones. The Boardwalk Inkwazi Shopping Centre in

Richards Bay has an eclectic mix of shops.

The port contains a modern marina, while places are reserved in the harbour for

water sports and recreation.

Cruise ships

A total of 32 cruise vessels called in at Richards Bay during the 2008/09 season.

Cruise ships use either the small craft berth or one of the normal cargo handling

berths, depending on the size of vessel.

Many cruise ships opt to stay at least two days in Richards Bay because of the

sheer variety and popularity of its visitor attractions.

Typically, a team of Zulu dancers will be waiting on the quay to give passengers a

traditional African welcome.

There is a tourist information office on the quayside with details of destinations

and tours. This is also the departure point for shore excursions. Visitors can go on

pre-booked safaris in luxury air conditioned coaches or they can book excursions

on the quayside with local safari operators.

Excursions

Zululand is ideal for shore excursions, with full-day or overnight safaris to key

destinations such as the game parks and Shakaland.

A favourite excursion for cruise passengers is a visit

to iSimangaliso (which means ‘wonder’ in Zulu), with

its huge population of crocodiles and hippos. The

park is also home to elephant and other significant

animals including buffalo, eland, kudu, rhino and

zebra. Visitors can take a boat cruise on Lake St Lucia

for up-close views of crocodile and hippo.

White rhino

Another ‘must’ is the world-famous Hluhluwe-

Imfolozi Game Reserve, where two large reserves

have been combined into one. This destination was

made famous by Operation Rhino, which saved the

white rhino from the brink of extinction. Many animal

species can be found here including the Big Five

(buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhino).

Other day visits from Richards Bay include the Valley

of the Kings, where many royal Zulu ancestors are

buried. Further along are the graves of trek leader Piet

Retief and his followers. From here it is a short drive

to Babanango and the battlefields of Fugitive’s Drift,

Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift.

History

South Africa’s most northerly port, Richards Bay,

takes its name from the British admiral Sir Frederick

Richards, who landed troops on the coast of Zululand

in �879 during the Anglo-Zulu War.

Famous battles

The port has been greatly expanded in recent years.

When the present harbour works began in �976 it

was little more than a coastal fishing village. Today,

it is a huge modern port and home to the world’s

second-largest coal terminal.

Richards Bay is close to places of significance in

South African history including the sites of

famous battles.

Fabulous coast, magical islands

�6

The fabulous coast of Mozambique is one of the region’s most unspoilt and least explored destinations for cruise ships.

Mozambique has suitable ports at Maputo, Beira, Nacala and Pemba offering a safe

haven for cruise ships on this long coastline, which stretches from Swaziland to the

southern border of Tanzania.

The coast of Mozambique also has safe anchorages leading to exotic offshore

islands covered with palm and baobab trees and offering some of the loveliest

and purest beaches to be found anywhere.

This magical place of discovery is only one or two days’ sailing time from Durban

and offers an exciting stopover on the way to or from the better-known Indian

Ocean destinations of Seychelles, Comores, Mauritius and Madagascar.

Exotic

There are opportunities to visit such exotic places as the Inhaca and Portuguese

Islands, opposite Maputo Bay, as well as Bazaruto and Barra Lodge, off central

Mozambique, while further north lie Mozambique Island and the wonderful

unexplored Querimaba group, including the historical island of Ibo. This region has

huge potential for cruising – and the hub port of Durban is the ideal starting place.

The anchorages are all safe, with beach landings protected behind coral reefs.

However, cruise ships will require suitable tenders or Zodiac-type inflatable

craft for beach landings.

These islands, both inhabited and uninhabited, are

more than mere strips of beach. Many reflect the

chequered history of coastal East Africa, with ancient

Arab and Portuguese forts, �6th century architecture,

museums, reminders of the days of slavery, and

monumental places of worship including the oldest

church south of the equator, built in �503.

Pirates

Cruising beyond to the Indian Ocean islands needs

no introduction. Explored by the early navigators and

in later times traversed by the merchant sailing ships

known as Indiamen – as well as by pirates – these

tropical islands are full of history as well as offering

a unique and delightful world of birds, animals and

marine life.

From Mauritius, about 3,000 km east of Africa, to

the huge island of Madagascar, with its own special

range of fauna, to the volcanic Comores, only a few

hundred kilometres from mainland Africa, these

islands add an unforgettable experience to any

cruise itinerary. Each has either safe anchorage or

acceptable harbour facilities and most also have

international air connections.

A special blend of natural wonders and ancient cultures

Tanzania, with its own special blend of rich culture and beautiful scenery, is an appealing cruise destination. Its tropical coastline

is blessed with beaches of white sand, exotic marine life, swaying palm trees, thatched villages and historical ports.

Tanzania contains many of Africa’s natural ‘crown jewels’ including Serengeti

National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. There is also

a wide choice of lesser known but equally fascinating locations such as Katavi

National Park, Lake Natron, Mafia Island and the Mahale, Ruaha, Selous and

Tarangire game reserves.

Many international visitors head for the fascinating island of Zanzibar, which has

become a popular tourism centre. Its many attractions include traditional dhows

bobbing in the harbour; a maze of winding streets

with bazaars and mosques and exotic wildlife such

as the red colobus monkey. Some visitors are drawn

to the old Swahili Coast atmosphere of Mafia and

Pemba islands, which offer superb diving.

Cruise ships

An exciting new chapter has begun for Tanzania’s

tourism industry with a campaign underway to

market Dar es Salaam as a key destination for cruise

ships. Dar es Salaam is already a year-round cruise

port, receiving just under 10 calls per year. The port

Page 20: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

It takes about an hour for a vessel to navigate from

outer anchorage to the berth. Customs, immigration

and health formalities are completed during this time.

Port services in Dar es Salaam include bunkers, stores,

towage and water. The airport is 8 km from the Port

of Dar es Salaam. Zanzibar can accommodate ships

up to 200 metres in length with a draught of 12.9

metres. It receives an average of 40 cruise calls a year.

Excursions

City tours offer fascinating insights into the

multifaceted history of Dar es Salaam and

18

has no dedicated passenger terminal, although the

occupied berth is segregated from cargo operations

whenever a cruise ship is in port.

Investment

New investment in waterfront facilities and cruise-

related infrastructure at Dar es Salaam is anticipated

in the near future as market conditions warrant.

Dar es Salaam can accommodate cruise ships up to

300 metres in length with a draught of 11.9 metres.

Page 21: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

19

surrounding villages including the historical town of

Bagamoyo. There are good air, road and rail links to

the country’s top game parks and wildlife reserves.

Both Mikumi National Park (200 km from the coast)

and Saadani Game Reserve (250 km away) provide an

ideal opportunity for cruise tourists to see the wildlife

heritage of Tanzania within a 24-hour port call.

Zanzibar offers plenty of choice when it comes

to organised tours and excursions. These range

from guided walks through the historical Stone

Town district, with its maze of narrow streets and

traditional shops, to scenic drives around the city,

visits to spice plantations, a boat trip to the former

prison island of Chenguu and an opportunity to spend the day relaxing in an

exclusive beach resort.

History

The vast expanses of mainland Tanzania are thought by some to be the cradle

of mankind. It was near Olduvai Gorge in 1978 that Dr Mary Leakey discovered

the human-like footprints of a primate dating back 4 million years. Even today,

mainland Tanzania remains relatively deserted, with nearly a quarter of its territory

reserved for game parks.

The exotic island of Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania, has been a magnet for

travellers down the centuries. The ancient Egyptians were drawn to the island’s

rich supply of spices, including cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.

Page 23: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

Kenya is not just one but two cruise destinations: the major port of Mombasa and the exotic island of Lamu.

Mombasa is one of the few calls in Africa where passengers can easily fit in a one-

day visit by road to a top-quality game park.

A favourite excursion is to the huge Tsavo East and West National Parks, only a

two-hour drive from Mombasa, home of the legendary man-eating lions.

Even closer to Mombasa are the Shimba Hills, just south of the city, involving a

relatively short journey by way of the Likoni ferry.

Big Five

The Tsavo parks represent one of Africa’s largest game reserves, with a combined

area of nearly 22,000 sq km. Apart from lions, the savannah landscape of Tsavo is

renowned for its elephant herds. It is an ideal place to view the Big Five as well as

antelope, giraffe, wild dogs, zebra and other animals.

Shimba is a more compact game park. This is the only place in Kenya where

visitors can see the rare sable in its natural habitat. Shimba also has buffalo,

elephant, waterbuck and other animals.

Cruise lines also have the option of calling Lamu, where visitors can explore Lamu

Old Town, a Unesco World Heritage Site and one of the best preserved Swahili

settlements on Africa’s east coast.

Cruise ships

In the Port of Mombasa, the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has allocated Berths

1 and 2 for cruise ships, which have priority. The land behind these two berths

has been levelled and the crane rail tracks removed to provide a smooth surface

2121

Page 24: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

22

area for buses and foot passengers. This area can be

cordoned off to ensure total security.

Most passengers are handled by the ship’s appointed

handler. Some local Kenyan tour operators also

provide these services. They may subcontract their

vehicles owing to the high demand generated by a

cruise ship call.

For each cruise call, the KPA arranges a pre-arrival

meeting of port officials to ensure the safe and secure

handling of passengers. Cruise ships are escorted

to their berth by naval and security craft. Baggage

is checked by sniffer dogs and passengers on shore

excursions are accompanied by a tourist police van.

Page 25: Cruise Indian Ocean Brochure

23

Mombasa is ideally placed as a home or turnround

port. Moi International Airport is just 15 minutes from

the port and the city has a large hotel capacity and

other facilities to cater for cruise passengers.

Cruise ships calling Lamu must anchor off and tender

passengers ashore. The KPA is planning new facilities to

allow vessels to come directly alongside the quay.

Excursions

Most passengers arriving in Mombasa will have pre-

booked a safari package from the ship or even via

the internet before departure. Mombasa is unusual

as a destination in that most passengers depart the

cruise berth by pre-assigned and numbered seven-

seat safari bus. On occasions there can be over 100

of these vehicles lined up ready to take passengers

to Tsavo or Shimba. The KPA has a marshalling area for these pre-security-cleared

vehicles, which have priority on exit at the port gate.

Bustling Mombasa’s main attraction is Fort Jesus, built by the Portuguese and

dating back to 1596. The city also has many interesting alleys and small shops in

the Arab quarter plus some good restaurants.

Passengers also have the option of flying from Mombasa to and from Tsavo

or even taking a pre-booked air trip to more distant parks such as Amboseli,

the Masai Mara and Samburu. These other parks are especially popular with

passengers from ships making longer calls of two or three days at Mombasa.

Lamu

The narrow streets of Lamu take visitors back hundreds of years to when Arab

slavers and traders used the town as a regional base. Here, the slow pace of

life is reminiscent of a bygone age. Donkeys are the only form of transport

and there are said to be as many as 3,000 working on the island.

The Republic of Sudan in northeast Africa is the largest country in Africa and in the Arab world. The world’s longest river, the Nile,

bisects the country from south to north.

Port Sudan, on the Red Sea, is the republic’s main port city. It is linked with the

capital, Khartoum, by a motorway. Port Sudan New International Airport is located

close to the city.

The long history of Sudan is intertwined with that of its northern neighbour,

Egypt, with which it was united politically during several periods in its history.

Khartoum, is one of three sister cities built at the convergence of the Blue and

White Niles. The others are Omdurman and North Khartoum.

Military

Khartoum was established as a British military outpost in 1821 and is said to

have derived its name from the thin spit of land at the convergence of the rivers

resembles an elephant’s trunk (khurtum). Port Sudan was founded by the British

in 1909 as the terminus of a railway linking the Red

Sea with the River Nile. A national wildlife park was

established in the central state of Al-Dinder in 1935.

This is one of the largest reserves in Africa with an

area of 2,470 square miles. In 1990 the government

created the Sanganieb national marine reserve, the

first of its kind in the Sudan region of the Red Sea.

Temples

The best time to visit Sudan is from mid-November

to early March. Port Sudan is known for its excellent

scuba diving and beaches. Khartoum is home to the

National Museum, the garden of which contains two

reconstructed Egyptian temples. Omdurman has the

largest souk (Arab market) in the Sudan. Visitors can

also see the tomb of the 19th century religious leader,

the Mahdi, and the home of the Mahdi’s successor,

Beit al-Khalifa, which is now a museum.

A unique and captivating landscape

THE Republic of Djibouti, just 20 km from Yemen across the sparkling waters of the Red Sea, is a small but fascinating

destination for cruise visitors.

Djibouti has a population of about 500,000 and its capital is the city of Djibouti

with its colourful market. This is a land of extremes, with palm-fringed beaches of

white sand, primeval forests and a unique geology.

One of its main tourist attractions is the bay of Goubbet al Kharab, near the

western end of the Gulf of Tadjoura, where steep cliffs surround a bay that has

been turned dark green by black lava. A number of active volcanoes are located

inland from here.

Another popular visitor site is the Day Forest National Park for conserving rare trees

on Mount Goda. Near the town of Ali Sabieh are famously red mountains and a

national park full of many gazelles.

Mini cruises by chartered motor yacht are available

These include a chance to explore Lake Assal, the

lowest spot in Africa, a visit to the islands of Musha

and Maskali and plenty of opportunities to go

snorkelling in beautiful calm waters and to view a

range of exotic marine life such as dolphins, turtles

and whale sharks.

Historical

Another place of interest is the 12th century

settlement of Tadjoura, the historical capital of

Djibouti. Day trips can be organised from here to the

Forêt du Day, a primeval mountain forest of giant

junipers and wild olives.

Seychelles combines all that is best about a paradise destination: a glorious climate, spectacular palm-fringed beaches with soft

white sand, numerous hideaway islands and wonderful hospitality.

More than 100 tropical islands, scattered over a million square kilometres of the

Indian Ocean, make up this ultimate paradise, situated just 4° south of the equator.

The main island of Mahé acts as a starting point for a visit to paradise. Here can be

found the international airport, commercial port, fishing port, international trade

zone and the yacht basin.

Praslin is more relaxed than Mahé and is generously endowed with fabulous beaches

and, away from the most popular beach at Côte d’Or, most are all but deserted.

S E Y c h E l l E S

A paradise of tropical islands

The key to a great holiday lies in choosing the right

destination with the most suitable accommodation.

Evocative

However, Seychelles is more than just one evocative

destination. It is a varied collection of tropical islands,

each with its own atmosphere. While there may be

plenty of other destinations to choose from, there is

only one Seychelles.

M a U R i T i U S

Island gem looks to attract more cruise calls

is plenty for cruise passengers to see and do between arrival at Plaisance and

departure from Port Louis. The island’s many luxury hotels also make Mauritius an

ideal spot for a vacation divided between cruising and relaxing ashore.

Cruise ships

Cruise ships are directed to berth in the peninsular area of Port Louis, which has

deep water and good access to tour buses and service vehicles.

Mauritius Ports Authority (MPA) has long-term plans to build a dedicated

cruise terminal in the old port area. In the shorter term, the MPA is looking at a

less ambitious scheme that would also accommodate the Mauritius Shipping

Corporation’s inter-island passenger and cargo vessels and traffic to and from

Réunion and Rodrigues.

Airport

Bunker fuel is readily available and there is a plentiful supply of provisions at

competitive prices.

There is an international airport in Plaisance, about 45 minutes from Port Louis,

with direct flights to key destinations in Africa, Europe, the Far East and Australia.

The tropical island of Mauritius is like a green and golden jewel set in the Indian

Ocean about 1,000 km east of mainland Africa.

As well as being an upmarket destination for tourists

– especially from Europe – Mauritius is becoming

more and more popular with cruise itinerary planners.

The island’s principal harbour is Port Louis, which

currently receives about 20 cruise ship calls per year.

Most of these vessels are engaged in a world cruise or

part world cruise.

Mauritius is keen to attract more cruise schedules

based entirely in the Indian Ocean. It also wants to

encourage at least some of these cruises to use Port

Louis as their home port.

In fact, Mauritius is an ideal regional base for Indian

Ocean cruises of seven, 10 or 14 days’ duration. There
