Day 1
Durban
Durban meets the Indian Ocean on South Africa’s east coast, with long beaches and cosmopolitan energy. Along the Golden Mile, the beachfront promenade offers a bracing walk and views of Moses Mabhida Stadium. Try bunny chow, the city’s celebrated curry-filled bread, then browse spices and crafts at Victoria Street Market. Durban’s Zulu heritage and Indian influence give the city a character—and a cuisine—well worth exploring.
-
Day 5
Port Louis, Mauritius
Port Louis brings Mauritius into focus: a working harbour, a lively market and green volcanic peaks behind the city. Start at Central Market, where vendors sell tropical fruit, spices and street food. Nearby, the Blue Penny Museum traces the island’s maritime and postal history. Fort Adelaide rewards the climb with broad harbour views. Allow time for the waterfront’s restaurants and shops; this is a port best explored on foot.
-
Day 8
Saint-Denis, France
Saint-Denis is Réunion’s compact, French-speaking capital, set between the Indian Ocean and the island’s steep volcanic interior. Walk Rue de Paris past Creole mansions to Jardin de l’État, then visit the nearby museums. At the Petit Marché, island produce and spices fill the stalls; the Grand Marché showcases local crafts. Come ashore for architecture and local life, then look inland: Réunion’s dramatic mountain landscapes begin just beyond town.
-
Day 12
Portuguese Island, Mozambique
Set in Maputo Bay, Portuguese Island lies between Maputo and Inhaca, a small, low-lying island reached by boat. White sand, shallow turquoise water and coastal scrub make it a quiet contrast to Maputo’s busy waterfront. Plan for a simple beach day, with swimming and snorkeling possible when sea conditions permit. Facilities are sparse, so carry drinking water and other essentials. Boat access depends on weather and tides; many visitors pair the stop with nearby Inhaca.
