most popular tourist destinations. Sink your toes into the sands of Santos
Beach. Hike up the trail to the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse where the 19th
century structure provides stunning views of the surrounding area. Learn about
the earliest humans at the Point of Human Origins archaeological site. Then
explore the more recent cultural heritage at the Bartolomeu Dias Museum.
Day 4: Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Port Elizabeth is one of South Africa's major municipalities and bears
the nickname "The Friendly City." Relax on beautiful King's Beach.
Spot some big game at the Kragga Kamma Game Park nature reserve. Explore the
rich history of South Africa's Eastern Cape at the Donkin Reserve. Try local
dishes like potjiekos, an indigenous stew cooked outdoors in a cast-iron pot.
Day 5: Richard's Bay, South Africa

Day 7: Durban, South Africa
With rich cultures, expansive beaches and historic landmarks intertwined
within a hip, vibrant atmosphere, Durban boasts a seemingly endless array of
possibilities. The port city is home to the largest population of Indians
outside India and also to millions of Zulu (South Africa's largest ethnic
group). Visit an authentic Zulu village for a glimpse into their traditions.
While touring the city's historic sites, including Mahatma Gandhi's house and
International Printing Press, you can enjoy delicious Indian cuisine at a local
restaurant. Or choose to slow it down, way down, lounging on warm sands or
taking a rickshaw ride along the Golden Mile - a nearly four-mile-long
beachfront esplanade.

Day 10: Luderitz, Namibia
Both its geographical location and German art nouveau architecture make
Lüderitz a very surprising and unique destination to explore. Situated between
the barren Namib Desert and the weathered South Atlantic coast lies what
appears to be a charming Bavarian village peppered with historic landmarks, a
museum and cafes. Though surrounded by seemingly unforgiving landscapes, the
region is home to diverse wildlife, including penguins, whales, dolphins and a
large array of breeding seabirds. Explore the coastline or journey inland on a
desert adventure.
Day 11: Walvis Bay, Namibia
Meaning "Whale Bay," Walvis Bay is located along a natural
deepwater harbour by the Namib Desert and is an ideal location for both
migrating and resident birds. A birdwatcher's paradise, more than 150 bird
species have been recorded in the area with Walvis Bay Lagoon being a major
hotspot. Bring your camera and binoculars for the chance to see thousands of
flamingos and other species congregating. Or look to the ocean for a chance to
see whales or dolphins. For some sand-based excitement, head inland into the
desert to Dune 7 (a staggering 1,256 feet tall) for a hike or to enjoy an
exhilarating sandboarding experience.
