Africa Cruises Weather
As such a large continent, it's no surprise that Africa has different climates depending on the area you're in. However, from the dry heat of the desert to the humidity of the rainforests in Madagascar, you'll tend to find that temperatures stay high throughout the year. In general, the season for cruises to Africa tends to last from October to May, meaning it's the perfect time to escape the UK for some warm winter sun. If you're set on enjoying a safari during your time in Africa, the best time to travel is between December and February, or June to August if you are in South Africa.
Africa Cruises Highlights
With so much to see and do, you're truly spoilt for choice when it comes to embarking on an Africa cruise. However, there are some highlights which would top anyone's list of activities during their time here:
Safari
The ‘must do’ activity when in Africa is a safari and can only truly be experienced in this part of the world. Normally taken out in groups of 8 in a track jeep, you'll get up close and personal with unique wildlife including elephants, giraffes and zebras.
Cape Point
Part of the Table Mountain National Park, the highest part of Africa is home to a wide selection of flora and fauna. Wander around to your heart's content as your senses come alive with the surrounding aromas and awe-inspiring scenery.
Robben Island
An island full of history, this is where influential icons, such as Nelson Mandela, were imprisoned. Today it's full of museums where you can head out on guided tours led by ex-political prisoners.
