This 10-day journey spans the African bush and the Indian Ocean paradise. Begin with 4 nights at an exclusive safari lodge in Kruger or the Serengeti — twice-daily game drives, bush walks, and stargazing over the savannah.
Then fly via Dubai or Doha to the Maldives for 5 nights of overwater villa bliss — glass floors, infinity pools, manta ray diving, and sunset dolphin cruises.
This is the combination that travel editors call "the greatest holiday on Earth" — and we handle every detail.
