Adventure cruises: dhow sailing off Mnemba Island, Zanzibar
Adventure cruising in Africa offers a number of benefits; cruise boats tend to be small and often based on locally made craft, such as fishing dhows, although you can also stay on modern sailing catamarans.
This makes an African cruise an intimate experience and as you sail the clear waters along the African coast, you have the perfect conditions for additional activities such as snorkelling and diving.
The islands of Zanzibar, Mauritius and the Seychelles are especially well-suited to adventure cruising.
Big Cat is a 50ft sailing catamaran that plies the waters of the Indian Ocean, sailing from her home port in Zanzibar as far as Pemba in the north, to the Mafia islands in the south.
Magic Sails offers you the chance to explore the stunning, unspoiled Indian Ocean off the northern coast of Mauritius on board a luxury catamaran.
The bay has a number of uninhabited islands and sandbanks and is frequented by humpback and bottlenose dolphins.
