Ke Nako! It is time!

…Time to discover the remarkable cultures of the Dark Continent’s storied Atlantic coast with Silver Explorer's West Coast of Africa expeditions. Still raw and innocent. Still utterly authentic. This is a travel destination not to be missed. Silversea has created three new expeditions in Africa for 2012 that will take guests from the once colonised northwest countries, along coastlines infamous for their historic role in the slave trade, and into the southern waters where vast seabird colonies are sustained by the nutrient-rich upwelling of the icy Benguela current.

When going ashore, groups are kept small so explorations can be more in-depth, more unforgettable. Spot rare birds, colourful butterflies and wild monkeys on an intimate jungle trek, and enjoy a personal introduction to a variety of indigenous cultures. With Silversea’s expeditions to Africa, you can learn about the origin of voodoo beliefs, admire the fishing skills of the Tofinu people, and spend an afternoon with the school children of a traditional Ewa village. The onboard team of expert naturalists will meet up with experienced local guides to offer the most enriching of eco-adventures imaginable.
