Setting sail from Cape Town
This magical multicultural city is the perfect jumping off point to explore Southern Africa, but do make sure you linger a few days to enjoy the buzz of a city where Africa meets a European-style cosmopolitan atmosphere, creating a vibrant melting pot of cultures and religions. With flat-topped Table Mountain soaring above the city, beautiful natural landscapes, and gardens within the city, you never feel far from nature here. Enjoy the waterfront, museums and elegant architecture, then take the time to venture further afield - there is so much within easy reach.

Mozambique: Maputo
![Maputo beach, Mozambique](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/18443-maputo-beach.jpg)
Mozambique’s laid back capital is an eclectic mix of elegant Portuguese colonial architecture and concrete blocks that hark back to the days of Soviet influence. Maputo also has an excellent selection of restaurants and a lively nightlife scene, as well as some interesting museums and markets.
1-2 January
At sea
3 January
Mozambique: Island of Mozambique
![Mozambique Island](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/78177-mozambique-island.jpg)
The densely populated Island of Mozambique was the capital of colonial Portuguese East Africa, and the island gave its name to the country when it gained independence. An impressive collection of historical buildings saw the island awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1991, and it’s a fascinating place to explore.

At sea
5-7 January
Tanzania: Zanzibar
![Dhow on the beach in Zanzibar, Tanzania](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/10820-zanzibar-dhow-on-beach.jpg)
The name Zanzibar evokes images of sultans and spice traders, an island of beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise waters criss-crossed by dhows. It’s also a great place for spotting wildlife, including dolphins, antelope and the rare red colobus monkey.
8 January
Tanzania: Dar es Salaam
![Beach in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/38643-beach-dar-es-salaam.jpg)
Once just a sleepy fishing village, Dar es Salaam has mushroomed into one of the busiest ports in Africa. The rich history of Tanzania is reflected in a mixture of Arab, Indian, African and German architecture, and the National Museum contains the famous fossils of early humans found by Louis and Mary Leakey in the Olduvai Gorge in 1959.
9-11 January
At sea
12-13 January
Seychelles: Victoria (Mahé)
![View of Victoria, Mahé, Seychelles](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/75303-mahe-view-of-victoria-low.jpg)
Mahé is the largest island in the Seychelles, home to the diminutive capital, Victoria, and 90% of the country's population. It's the quintessential tropical paradise, a sun-drenched landscape of granite mountains, lush jungle and heavenly white sand beaches.
14 January
Seychelles: Praslin Island
![Anse Georgette, Praslin Island](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/19135-anse-georgette-praslin-island-low.jpg)
The island of Praslin is home to some of the Seychelles’ top attractions, including the Vallée de Mai, a protected forest where you’ll see the rare coco de mer, a tree that produces the world’s largest seed and palm flower. The grove is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has been compared to the Garden of Eden.
15-16 January
At sea
17 January
Madagascar: Nosy Be
![Chameleon in Madagascar](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/10817-madagascar-chameleon.jpg)
The island of Nosy Be, just off the northeast coast of Madagascar, remains a laid back locale in spite of its popularity as a tourist destination. The beaches are the main attraction for most visitors, along with the colourful chameleons and tiny frogs hiding in the Lokobe wildlife reserve.
18 January
Mayotte: Mamoudzou
![White sand beach on Mayotte island](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/63465-white-sand-beach-mayotte-island.jpg)
Mayotte is part of the Comoros archipelago, off the east coast of Africa, governed by France as an overseas territory. It’s something of a post-colonial oddity; the white sand beaches and laid back pace are typical of the Indian Ocean, but the cost of living is more reminiscent of mainland France.
19-21 January
At sea
22 January
South Africa: Durban
![Durban, South Africa](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/28100-durban-south-africa.jpg)
Durban is a real melting pot; not only does the city feel more authentically African than Cape Town, it’s also home to a large Indian community that lends the city a distinctly Asian flavour. The lovely waterfront promenade was revamped for the 2010 World Cup, and the beach is a popular destination for domestic tourists.
23 January
At sea
24-25 January
South Africa: Port Elizabeth
![Hobie Beach in Port Elizabeth, South Africa](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/28086-hobie-beach-port-elizabeth.jpg)
Port Elizabeth is home to some nice beaches and a handful of interesting buildings, but it is perhaps not the most exciting city on the Sunshine Coast. There are plenty of things to see and do in the surrounding area, however, and we highly recommend a day trip to the fantastic Addo Elephant Park.
26 January
South Africa: Mossel Bay
![Lighthouse in Mossel Bay, South Africa](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_mosaicsmall/48871-mossel-bay-lighthouse.jpg)
The sunny city of Mossel Bay is on South Africa’s famous Garden Route, situated roughly halfway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. The city has a pleasant seafront promenade and there are some lovely beaches nearby, along with whale and dolphin watching hotspots and game reserves.

Arriving in Cape Town
![Beach near Cape Town](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/landscape_half/7653-cape-town-beach-low.jpg)
![Robben Island lighthouse, Cape Town](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mundy.assets.d3r.com/images/related_video/1982-robben-island-lighthouse-cape-town.jpg)
Don't miss
Robben Island is a must, possibly the most well known island-prison in the world. Make sure you book ahead - the ferries leave at specific times and numbers are limited.

What we love
When Seabourn built Odyssey, Sojourn and Quest, over a period of just three years, we were delighted. Not only because each one is beautiful, but also because their similarity means that they are interchangeable, enabling you to travel all over the world in a familiar environment.

Where to stay in Cape Town
There are some great hotels to choose from, but at Mundy we especially like the Cape Grace on the waterfront.
