Overview

This ‘bush and beach' vacation is a great fuss-free combination tour that takes you to two of Southern Africa's most beautiful and iconic destinations. 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.

Itinerary information

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.
