From Kruger's wildlife trails to Mozambique's island shores
Trade early-morning wildlife tracks for Indian Ocean horizons on this seven-day South Africa and Mozambique journey. Two nights at Bushbaby Valley Lodge near Hazyview give you a base for the safari section, before four nights at Hotel Dona Ana in Vilanculos bring island excursions, beach time and an evening dhow cruise.
US$3,200 per person sharing; US$4,480 for a solo traveller. The price includes your scheduled flight to Vilanculos from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport or Johannesburg, the Vilanculos–Johannesburg return flight and all transfers listed in the itinerary. The departure airport is selected to suit workable airline schedules and confirmed before booking.
A short safari with several chances to explore
Begin with your transfer to the lodge and a sunset game drive, followed by dinner. Day 2 combines an early-morning drive with a full-day safari in Kruger National Park. A further early drive on Day 3 completes the wildlife section before your airport transfer. The exact drive timings and locations are coordinated with the lodge and guides; animal sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Three islands and a sunset under sail
From Vilanculos, spend a full day visiting Bazaruto and Benguerra, with lunch included. A second full-day excursion takes you to Santa Carolina, again with lunch, before returning for dinner at the hotel. The two island days balance the safari's early starts with Mozambique's coastal scenery.
Day 6 is yours to slow down by the beach before an included sunset dhow cruise. Enjoy dinner back at the hotel. On Day 7, have breakfast and beach time if your departure allows, then transfer to the airport for your included flight to Johannesburg.
Flight connections and coastal conditions
Flights, accommodation and excursions remain subject to availability. Flight times and baggage allowances are confirmed before booking; the Day 3 sunrise drive and Day 7 beach time depend on those schedules. Boat outings depend on tides, weather and safe operating conditions, and their order may be adjusted.
The meal plan includes the dinners shown on Days 1–2, breakfasts and hotel dinners on Days 4–6, island lunches on Days 4–5 and breakfast on Day 7. Other meals, beverages, optional beach activities, international flights, visas, insurance and gratuities are extra. Room category is confirmed with your quote; no particular sea-facing room or private boat is promised.
