A Cruise ship on the Indian Ocean
Africa is a continent with diverse tourism resources which includes the abundant sunshine all year round, wildlife sanctuaries, the beautiful beaches along the coastal line around Africa, the Lake Victoria beaches and the various rivers which are waiting to be visited.
Cruise ship liners, with their tourist visitors have started frequent visits to the ports of Africa bringing large numbers of visitors to Africa. A cruise around Africa from Europe via the Suez canal while stopping at various ports along the Mediterranean down to Indian ocean, then to the coast of eastern Africa stopping at the port of Mombasa, disembarking for few days for wildlife tourism in the Tsavo National park, Amboseli National park and Maasai Mara National Reserve (The New seventh wonder of the world) which is quite adventurous, not to mention the welcoming cultural Swahili community in Mombasa. 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.
