I invite you to join Stanford on our very first journey to Mozambique. After four centuries of Portuguese rule and two decades of civil war, an independent Mozambique has emerged as one of Africa’s rising stars. Join us and you’ll discover why: thousands of miles of unspoiled ivory sand beaches, a capital imbued with a unique blend of African and Iberian culture, and offshore islands teeming with natural beauty. We enhance this exploration with a return to one of our favorite wildlife paradises, the Edenesque island of Madagascar. With us to illuminate the natural wonders we’ll encounter is Stanford professor Bill Durham, ’71. And there’s no better way to experience these out-of-the-way destinations than from the comfort of our seaborne accommodations, the luxury, all-suite Corinthian II. Join us!

Depart on overnight flights to Mozambique. Upon arrival in Maputo on Tuesday, transfer to the port to board our ship. CORINTHIAN II (D)

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19MAPUTO

Built on the shores of a spacious bay and with architecture reminiscent of Mediterranean ports, Maputo is one of Africa’s most appealing cities. Inhabited by the local Ronga people since ancient times, Maputo was known until 1976 as Lourenço Marques, the name of the Portuguese navigator who explored the area in 1545. Explore the city, with its wide leafy avenues,

graceful buildings dating from the Portuguese

colonial period, and bustling

markets. Visit the National Art

Museum, which exhibits

paintings and sculpture

by the country’s leading artists. As we

lunch aboard, sail into the Bay of Maputo and up the coast of Mozambique. CORINTHIAN II (B,L,D)

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20INHAMBANE

Inhambane, accessed through a deep waterway, was an important trading post for Arab merchants and sailors as early as the 11th century. The Portuguese arrived in the early 16th century, and in the 18th century they were joined by Indian traders. The mixture of African, Arab, European, and Indian influences is still present today. Explore this town whose inhabitants impressed the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama when he arrived in the 15th century and called it “the land of the good people.” CORINTHIAN II (B,L,D)

FRIDAY, JANUARY 21BAZARUTO ARCHIPELAGO

Spend the day exploring the Bazaruto Archipelago, a tropical paradise of five main islands that is protected as a national park under the auspices of the World Wildlife Fund. These pristine islands feature tranquil beaches, translucent turquoise waterways, a varied population of birds and a rich

marine life. Dolphins and over 2,000 types of fish are found in the placid waters. CORINTHIAN II (B,L,D)

SATURDAY, JANUARY 22AT SEA

Enjoy our ongoing lecture series during a relaxing day at sea. CORINTHIAN II (B,L,D)

SUNDAY, JANUARY 23MORONDAVA, MADAGASCAR

The center of the old Sakalava kingdom, the town of Morondava sits beside a river. Drive to the Kirindy Reserve, which was initially founded as a project in sustainable logging. The reserve’s abundant wildlife includes the giant jumping rat, numerous chameleons, six species of lemur, the narrow-striped mongoose, the fossa (Madagascar’s largest predator) and many species of birds. As we return to the ship, stop at the Avenue of the Baobabs, lined by these famous trees on both sides of the road. CORINTHIAN II (B,L,D)

Of the 10 lemur species found in the park, this is the only habitat of the red-ruffed lemur. Numerous species of birds,

reptiles and invertebrates, many of which are endemic, also reside here. Masoala is equally famous for its lush vegetation, which includes a variety of orchids. CORINTHIAN II (B,L,D)

F U E L C O S T S

In the uncertain, often volatile oil market of late, it is difficult to predict fuel costs over the long term and, more specifically, at the time of operation of this voyage. Our prices are based upon the prevailing fuel rates at the time of brochure printing. While we will do everything possible to main-tain our prices, if the fuel rates increase significantly, it may be necessary to institute a fuel surcharge.

W H A T T O E X P E C T

We consider this to be a moderately strenuous program that is at times physically demanding and busy. Daily programs involve one to three miles of walking, often on uneven terrain. Some days require early morning starts. We often have a full schedule of excursions, lectures and special events. These busy days are contrasted with the relaxed pace aboard ship, where daily shore excursions are complemented by lectures and leisuretime aboard. Participants must be physically fit and in active good health. We welcome travelers over the age of 15 on this program.

Deposit & Final PaymentA $1,000 deposit is required to hold space for Mozambique and Madagascar. Complete and return the attached reservation form or sign up online. Final payment is due 120 days prior to departure.

Cancellations & RefundsDeposits and any payments are fully refundable, less a $500-per-person cancellation fee, until 120 days prior to departure. After that date, refunds can be made only if the program is sold out and your place(s) can be resold, in which case a $1,000-per-person cancellation fee will apply. We recommend trip-cancellation insurance; applications will be sent to you.

InsuranceStanford Travel/Study provides all travelers who are U.S. or Canadian citizens with minimal medical, accident and evacuation coverage under our group-travel insurance policy. Our group policy is intended to provide minimal levels of protection while you are traveling on this program. We strongly recommend that you subscribe to optional baggage and trip-cancella-tion insurance. A brochure offering such insurance will be mailed with your confirmation about one week after we receive your deposit. The product offered in this brochure includes a special Waiver of Pre-Existing Conditions and coverage for Financial Insolvency and Terrorist Acts if you postmark your insurance payment within 15 days of the date listed on the confirmation letter.

However, we can assume no liability for injury, damage, loss, accident, delay or irregularity in connection with the service of any automobile, motorcoach, launch or any other conveyance used in carrying out this program or for the acts or defaults of any company or person engaged in conveying the passenger or in carrying out the arrangements of the program. We cannot accept any responsibility for losses or additional expenses due to delay or changes in air or other services, sickness, weather, strike, war, quarantine, force majeure or other causes beyond our control. All such losses or expenses will have to be borne by the passenger as tour rates provide arrangements only for the time stated. We reserve the right to make such alterations to this published itinerary as may be deemed necessary. The right is reserved to cancel any program prior to departure in which case the entire payment will be refunded without further obligation on our part. The right is also reserved to decline to accept or retain any person as a member of the program. No refund will be made for an unused portion of any tour unless arrangements are made in sufficient time to avoid penalties. It is under- stood that the ship’s ticket, when issued, shall constitute the sole contract between the passenger and the cruise company. Baggage is carried at the owner’s risk entirely. The airlines concerned are not to be held responsible for any act, omission or event during the time that passengers are not onboard their plane or conveyance. Neither the Alumni Association, Stanford University nor our operators accept liability for any carrier’s cancellation penalty incurred by the purchase of a nonrefundable ticket in connection with the tour. Program price is based on rates in effect in May 2010 and is subject to change without notice to reflect fluctuations in exchange rates, tariffs or fuel charges.
