A short scenic drive between the Kruger National Park and Mozambique’s gorgeous coastline allows you to make the most of each destination, whether you are trundling off-road in search of the Big 5, or reclining on a daybed with the warm Indian Ocean spread out before you.

Comfortable accommodation and a wide variety of activities make this vacation ideal for young families, multi-generational groups and adventurous couples alike. Lukimbi Lodge is located in a private Kruger concession where you can enjoy hiking, game drives, bird watching and guided nature walks. At Machangulo Beach Lodge, located in a private reserve on the southern Mozambican coastline, a host of activities await including diving, snorkelling, boating, river kayaking, picnics and more.

Detailed breakdown

Days 1-3: See the Big 5 at Kruger | 3 Nights

Up arrow
Kruger National Park, South Africa

Your journey begins in South Africa’s most affluent city, Johannesburg, with a scheduled flight whisking you from OR Tambo International Airport to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. On landing, you will be warmly greeted for a private transfer to Lukimbi Safari Lodge – roughly three hours’ drive away – where you will spend the following three nights.

Arriving at the lodge, take some time to settle into your comfortable African-style suite before the real adventure begins. The lodge is located on 15 000 hectares of private wilderness, and a skilled and knowledgeable game ranger will introduce you to this pristine portion of the famous Kruger National Park. When you are not searching for the Big 5 and other fascinating wildlife, you can enjoy relaxing treatments at the spa, dine under the stars or simply enjoy the sounds and sights of the wilderness from your secluded suite.

Days 4-7: Beach fun in Mozambique | 4 Nights

Up arrow
Mozambique

After an early morning game drive and a hearty breakfast at Lukimbi Lodge, you will be collected for your road transfer to Mozambique. The drive is approximately three hours and takes you to Maputo – the iconic and historical capital city of Mozambique. At the harbour, a private boat is ready to sail you across tranquil Maputo Bay towards the Machangulo Peninsula. Machangulo Nature Reserve is a pristine and untouched wilderness home to exquisite beaches, golden dunes and lush coastal woodlands. On the other side of the peninsula are calm estuaries, beautiful mangrove forests, flamingos and other wildlife.

The beach portion of your vacation can be as active or relaxing as you like: explorers will relish the opportunity to sail out on a traditional dhow boat, snorkel, dive, explore the estuaries and visit Inhaca Island. Inhaca offers boat trips to the nearby and totally deserted Portuguese Island, and outings to the Marine Biology Museum or the Inhaca Lighthouse.

Massages in a private sala on the beach, romantic candlelit dinners, village trips, picnics and lovely ocean-view suites complete the Machangulo experience.

Day 8: Return to Johannesburg
