Soak in the sun on this 14-day tour that combines Mozambique’s coastal charm and the Kruger National Park’s wildlife encounters, embracing Southern Africa’s wonder. Your venture begins in Johannesburg, driving through the picturesque Mpumalanga region and into Estwatini, where two nights at the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary or similar lodges immerse you in the golden and green grasslands of Mpumalanga.

Your second day dawns with an opportunity to browse Eswatini & Mliliwane at your own pace, with several hiking trails working through the rolling hills available to you. Day 3 brings your group to the Hlane Game Reserve on a Rhino focused drive, with a possibility to step off the vehicle and approach rhino on foot at the discretion of your expert guides, as well as spotting plenty of bushveld inhabitants.

The scenery shifts as we cross into Mozambique, a land of scenery, sugarcane, and seafood. Relishing the sights, we head to Xai Xai, where the Indian Ocean rolls onto the sands and gives us a taste of the coast. Our next destination is Vilanculos, the gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago and the picture of tropical paradise. The pristine beaches offer exquisite marine life sightings with optional snorkeling and diving experiences, while plenty of restaurants and lounging areas line the sand, perfect for unwinding. The following day takes us to Magaruque Island on a full-day dhow tour, giving you a day of paradise on this isolated island.

Continuing along the coconut- and cashew-lined coast, we arrive at Inhambane and subsequently Barra Beach, where Mozambique’s historical architecture meets its azure waters. We will spend two days of oceanic leisure time here, where you can submerge yourself in activities galore or wander through the spiced restaurants that make Mozambique’s seafood sing. We will also abscond to Tofo, a city brimming with beach bars and a bustling market. On day 10, a unique blend of African, Portuguese, and Arabic influences greet us at Maputo with our guide, who covers its eccentric culture and colourful history, taking us on a walking tour of its streets.

Then we return to South Africa’s bush for the famous Kruger National Park for a full-day safari. The largest game reserve in South Africa, Kruger is a hotspot for the Big Five and is dense with animals, promising amazing sightings with 147 mammals species and 507 bird species to see. The next day is an outing to the extraordinary landscapes of the Panorama Route, including Bourke’s Luck Potholes, the Three Rondavels, and God’s Window.

Our journey concludes with a drive back to Johannesburg, with memories of Mozambique’s seaside and Kruger’s expansive plains in the forefront of our mind, forever entwined with the beat of Africa’s natural marvels.
