Stars of South Africa Cruise Review

“We loved this cruise, it was brilliant from start to finish. Me and my husband had never been to Africa before, and after this trip we were so glad we chose to travel with Ama, they made our holiday feel so organised and we can’t wait to go on another cruise with them. We’re thinking of tackling Europe this year and I know we can rest easy knowing it’s AmaWaterways we’ll be travelling with.”

Vicky and Ben Smithe, Truro, Cornwall
