"Imagine
a cruise around Africa, via the Suez Canal, stopping at exotic ports
on the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Indian Ocean. Or if that's not enough,
Africa's rivers and lakes offer an abundance of opportunity for everything
from soft adventure to luxury.” Jerry W. Bird said.
Cruise
Ship tourism in East Africa
Mombasa, Dar Es Salaam and Zanzibar ports of East Africa are the calling
cruise ship destinations with Mombasa port in Kenya leading in this
business due to its proximity to the wildlife sanctuaries, excellent
sandy Beaches and Hotels. Dar es salaam follows and then Zanzibar. Lake
Victoria, being the largest fresh water lake in the world connecting
the three African states of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania is a virgin,
untapped destination in this business due to the lack of a Holiday built
vessel.
