AmaWaterways officially launched its new “Africa Safaris and Wildlife Cruise.” The new program includes a four-night cruise aboard the Zambezi Queen on the Chobe River, which begins in Kasane, Botswana.

The ship travels along the banks of Chobe National Park, home to elephants, leopards, lions, sable and buffalo. Wildlife excursions can be taken by boat or open-air vehicles. Guests also will visit a local village and take part in a traditional “boma” dinner. In addition to the safari cruise, the program features a choice of three land tours to the Serengeti, Chobe National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro. Each tour concludes with two nights in Victoria Falls.

A new 20-page brochure details the three AmaVoyages in Africa itineraries. Ranging from 16 to 19 days, the Africa program commences in June.
