Africa Adventure Cruising | Peregrine Adventures CA

Africa seems a continent designed for overland adventure, but cruising casts its beauty in a whole new light.

When most people think of travelling Africa, they flock straight to the lions and giraffes of the Serengeti. The joy of cruising the African coastline is that you get to experience a side of Africa that few travellers ever get to see. Explore the rivers and deltas of Senegal and Gambia, spotting rare birds and marine life. Island hop through the Seychelles of the Indian Ocean, the closest place to paradise on earth. Recline on beaches of fine white sand and swim in waters made for snorkelling, then cruise down the coast through local fisheries to discover primeval island forests.
