Follow in the wake of the early explorers and merchant ships of the 18th and 19th centuries on an adventure up the length of Africa's Atlantic coast. This voyage encompasses 13 nations, beginning in South Africa's Cape Town and concluding by crossing the Strait of Gibraltar. Accompanied by a team of experts, encounter a vast range of geography, cultures, and peoples—from the towering dunes of Namibia, to the remarkable wildlife of Gabon's rain forests, to the bustling Moroccan medinas. This tour is also offered in two shorter segments.
