"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

Today, our neighborhood resembles a tranquil sea of glass, with the ocean mirroring the scattered clouds above. While we find ourselves in a serene and reflective moment amidst the vastness of the ocean, the Captain made the announcement we've eagerly awaited. Just like the lyrics from Toto's song "Africa,"

As a result of the unrest in the area of the Red Sea, it's been decided that we will not travel the originally planned route.
Drum roll, please... and the winner is... our Immersive Africa Itinerary!

Option 1 has been chosen by the majority of the world travelers. As a result our new destination highlights are as follows:

• Madagascar: Known for its diverse flora and fauna, offering opportunities to observe lemurs and other native species,
• Mauritius: Home to volcanic landscapes, including Trou aux Cerfs, and offers chances to witness unique ecosystems and marine life,
• Addo and Amakhala Reserves (South Africa): Offers a classic safari experience, allowing visitors to encounter the "Big Five": lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, and leopards,
• Port Elizabeth: Serves as a starting point for exploring the Addo Elephant National Park and other reserves,
• Cape Town: Provides access to Table Mountain and other notable sites,
• Boulders Beach: Known for its population of African penguins,
• Walvis Bay: Features a tidal lagoon teeming with birdlife,
• Luderitz: Showcases German colonial architecture,
• Corfu: Featured in James Bond films and offers a mix of old fishing villages and beaches,
• Tenerife: Includes Loro Park, Spain's most visited zoo, and the Cave of the Wind.
