South Africa Wildlife & Bazaruto Island Explorer

Arrive at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport where you'll pick up your rental car. From here you'll drive to Cybele Forest Lodge and Spa, located along the scenic Panorma Route and where you'll be staying for the next two nights.

The quaint farmhouse is situated in a beautiful forested area, providing you with the perfect setting from which to go on quiet nature walks. You could also discover the forest on horseback, stopping at a beautiful and secluded waterfall for a picnic.

Return to the lodge and enjoy a pampering spa treatment for two in the Forest Health Spa. Take a walk around the private garden and listen to the sounds of birds before freshening up for an unforgettable culinary experience in the restaurant.

Depart from the forest this morning and drive through beautiful scenery on your way to Lion Sands River Lodge, located in the exclusive Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve adjacent to the Kruger National Park.

Here you'll spend the next four nights in luxury, exploring the tangled bush environment and enjoying exciting morning, afternoon and early evening game drives in one of Africa's best game viewing destinations. Keep your eyes open for leopards as the Sabi Sand is well-known for frequent sightings of these agile beauties.

You can also take a day trip into the world-renowned Kruger National Park to continue your search for Africa's Big 5 or just relax in your spacious suite, laze beside the swimming pool and enjoy the views.

Today you will transfer to the Peech Hotel in the upscale neighbourhood of Melrose in Johannesburg where you can relax before travelling to Indigo Bay.

Drive your hire car back to KMIA, where you catch a flight to Vilanculos airport, in time for your connecting flight to Indigo Bay, in the Bazaruto Archipelago. 

Your accommodation for the next 7 nights is a secluded thatched chalet surrounded by dense tropical gardens. 

Indigo Bay Resort offers a huge range of activities, so there's plenty to do. Of course you could just settle back on your daybed on the beach, and look out at the sea over the pages of a dog-eared novel.

After experiencing a diverse array of different environments, fly back to Kruger Mpumalanga Airport in South Africa, feeling refreshed and revitalised.
