Overview

Set out on an unforgettable bush and beach journey through Mozambique's coveted natural landscapes, beginning in the celebrated conservation triumph of Gorongosa National Park and concluding along the pristine shores of the Bazaruto Archipelago.

Your first two nights are spent tucked along the riverbanks in a remote corner of the Gorongosa reserve at Muzimu Lodge. Here, you'll be treated to immersive game drives and golden-hour sundowners, alongside meaningful community visits with local beekeepers and farmers.

From here, continue to Chicari Camp for three nights of canvas-tented luxury. You may choose to embark on a full-day excursion tracing the rainforest slopes, visiting coffee plantations and trekking to a breathtaking waterfall. The remainder of your time centres on Gorongosa's remarkable conservation successes, balanced with ample opportunities for game drives and afternoon safaris.

Finally, a restorative retreat at Azura Marlin Beach awaits, with five nights devoted to effortless holidaying. Quietly carve a path through crystalline waters aboard a traditional dhow, and enjoy kayaking at first light, embracing the unhurried rhythm of beachside living.

With five nights spent on safari and five nights by the sea, this itinerary strikes the balance between wilderness immersion and relaxed beachside sojourns. Ideal for travellers seeking a richly diverse retreat that spares no expenses in terms of luxury and affordability.
