“Our Africa program is very meaningful to me, as it was one of the first cruises I experienced with AmaWaterways after becoming CEO and it truly left an unforgettable impression,” said Catherine Powell, CEO, AmaWaterways. “We’re thrilled to offer even more opportunities for our guests to experience the trip of a lifetime – seeing wildlife right on the riverbanks, connecting with amazing people, and exploring the rich cultures and landscapes that make this region so special. Our guests can now explore even more of Southern and Eastern Africa in comfort and style, while supporting local communities through sustainable tourism.”
