What it means for travelers
- Gateways: Nairobi (NBO), Johannesburg (JNB) and Cape Town (CPT). All are long-haul with limited daily frequencies from North America.
- A safari has a fixed start day. Miss it and you may miss the ship too. Plan to arrive at least two days before the land program begins.
- The trip is open-jaw. You fly into the safari gateway and home from wherever the cruise ends. Book both flights early.
