Embark on the journey of a lifetime as we sail aboard the elegant new expedition cruise ship, Diana, from Mombasa, Kenya, to Cape Town, South Africa, via Aldabra and the Mozambique Channel. On this extraordinary expedition, explore places few people will ever have the privilege of seeing: the earthly paradise of the Seychelles; the virtually untouched Glorioso Islands in the Mozambique Channel; the rain forests and abundant fauna of Madagascar; and the wildlife preserves and vineyards of South Africa. On Aldabra, the largest raised coral reef on earth, we will experience what Sir David Attenborough has called "one of the wonders of the world." We will meet black lemurs on the Malagasy island of Nosy Kumba, and delight in the baobab trees and other indigenous fauna in Morondava and Taliara on Madagascar's western shores. Crossing the channel to continental Africa, we will engage in a 'safari by sea', as we explore national parks and private game preserves along the South African coastline. Toward the end of our journey, we will find ourselves on the legendary Garden Route, where excursions to the Kariega and Botlierskop Game Reserves bring the opportunity to encounter lions, leopards, rhinos, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, and a myriad of bird species. We end our journey in South Africa's oldest city, Cape Town, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Molly Miller, Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Emerita, and Calvin Miller, Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Emeritus, will be your faculty leader on this journey from Kenya to Madagascar and South Africa. They are very excited to share their knowledge with you.
