African ports questions

[crazyman3]

Hi Everyone

 

For all of you who have been to the ports of Banjul (The Gambia), Abidjan (Cote d'Ivorie), Takoradi (Ghana), Luanda (Angola), Wavis Bay (Namibia) and Luderitz (Namibia) I need your advice!

Any visa issues? Did Silversea organise them or did you buy them yourselves? e-visas or visit the embassy visas?

Money: did you take local currency or did you pay with plastic / dollars notes?

Health issues?

Any other advice welcome too!

 

I'm on an Azamara cruise from Lisbon to Cape Town in November and would obviously appreciate any help.

 

Many thanks.

Interesting that you would post on an SS board if you are travelling Azawhatits, no visas needed and US dollars accepted everywhere. No health issues if you stay clear of the local food. This smelt awful and tasted even worse!

Thanks for your reply, Silver Spectre.

The photo of the wandering goat just under your points about the food was well placed!
