SILVERSEA EXECUTIVE HOSTS EXPEDITION
TO HIS HOMELAND IN SOUTH AFRICA
Growing up in multi-cultural South Africa – surrounded by game reserves, national parks and wilderness – turned out to be the ideal playground for a young man with an adventurer’s spirit. Little surprise then that Conrad Combrink, Silversea’s Sr. Vice President of Expeditions, Destination, and Itinerary Management, began his career as an expedition leader in some of the world’s most remote lands, from Antarctica and the Russian Far East to India, Madagascar, Tanzania, and yes, his homeland of South Africa.
The opportunity to host a one-of-a-kind 12-day adventure into the heart of his cherished South Africa is an extra special opportunity he looks forward to sharing with you. Silver Cloud’s 23 March 2024 expedition departs scenic Namibia – gateway to the world’s oldest desert with the world’s highest sand dune – bound for seven destinations in South Africa including two days in Cape Town and an overnight in Port Elizabeth. Big Five safaris, spectacular marine life, renowned Winelands and enduring Xhosa culture are but a sampling of the discovery that awaits.
