Kruger Safari & Mozambique Beach Escape
Bush meets beach — Big Five safari followed by tropical paradise
Tour Overview
The ultimate Southern African combo — three nights of Big Five safari in the Greater Kruger followed by four nights on Mozambique's pristine beaches. This is the trip that gives you everything: the thrill of tracking lions at dawn, the romance of a bush dinner under the stars, and then the bliss of turquoise Indian Ocean waters, coral reefs teeming with marine life, and barefoot luxury on white sand. Mozambique's Bazaruto Archipelago or Vilanculos coastline offers some of the most spectacular marine experiences in the world — snorkelling with whale sharks, diving pristine coral reefs, dhow sailing at sunset, and feasting on fresh seafood. This combination is particularly popular with honeymooners and couples who want the best of both worlds.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Fly into Hoedspruit and transfer to your safari lodge in the Greater Kruger. Settle in, enjoy lunch, and head out for your first afternoon game drive. The bush is alive with activity as animals gather at waterholes in the late afternoon light.
