After a relaxing day at sea, arrive in the capital city of Mozambique, Maputo, where colonial-era architecture and the many charms of Old Town await. Then, it’s back to South Africa for a late stay in Richards Bay, with plenty of time for a safari through Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park. In the historic city of Durban, go on a tour of traditional Zulu homesteads, meander along the famed Golden Mile. Take the next two days to take in a broadway-caliber show and indulge at the spa, then spend the following day relaxing on beaches in the sunny harbor town of Mossel Bay. Your Azamara cruise concludes back in Cape Town for an overnight stay.
