Bicycles AmaWaterways was the first river cruise line to carry complimentary bicycles aboard our ships in Europe. Guests can take guided bike tours, explore destinations on their own and even cycle from one port to the next, pedalling alongside the river parallel to the ship.

AmaVoyages In answer to our guests’ growing desire to explore more remote corners of the world, we developed an entirely new division - AmaVoyages - to offer itineraries in Portugal, Russia, Vietnam & Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma) and Africa. AmaVoyages ships have onboard amenities and services that differ somewhat from our flagship European fleet, but these newly built or redesigned vessels deliver the highest standards available on the rivers on which they sail. These ships feature beautiful décor, comfortable accommodation, delicious western and regionally inspired cuisine, and wonderful onboard staff. From the spectacular scenery of the African savannah to the ethereal temples of Angkor Wat, to the riches of Russia’s Hermitage, these one of a kind journeys are as life enhancing as they are unforgettable. Gaze upon centuries old pagodas covered in gold in Myanmar. Experience the thrill of a safari drive and spotting the “Big Five” with your very own eyes. Spend a night in Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay and cruise through Portugal’s otherworldly Douro Valley. Along the way, enjoy the expertise of knowledgeable AmaVoyages guides, and the company of interesting, like minded travellers. There is truly no better way to see the world, one river at a time.

Africa Safaris & Wildlife Cruise 4 NIGHT SAFARI CRUISE & 2 NIGHTS IN VICTORIA FALLS PLUS 3 LAND OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM

52

A M A W AT E R W AY S . C O . U K


Our Africa itineraries offer the best of both worlds, the up close, unhurried luxury of a leisurely African river safari as well as a land programme filled with exhilarating game drives, unique cross-cultural experiences, and the thundering waters of the legendary Victoria Falls. Explore some of Africa’s most glorious settings, home to the “Big Five” and a vast array of colourful birdlife. Choose from our ‘Bucket List’ itineraries featuring some of the best hotels and lodges in South and East Africa, the Rovos Rail luxury train, plus a four night river safari aboard the Zambezi Queen, a vessel specially designed to showcase wildlife viewings and scenic vistas.

Details of Your Cruise & Victoria Falls Stay

Choosing a Safari There are many factors to consider when selecting the safari that’s best for you. Two of the most important are where to go and when. We offer three tantalizing land programmes in Southern Africa and East Africa with departures throughout the year. The winter dry season from May to October is usually considered the most optimal, when vegetation is sparse and animals gather at water sources.
