Inspirational safari & beach holiday to South Africa and Mozambique
A luxury African journey combining a city break in Cape Town, a Big 5 safari in the Kruger Park and a relaxing beach stay on Benguerra Island in Mozambique. With seamless transfers and flights, this is a fortnight filled with scenic locations, adventure and 'me' time in top-notch hotels. South Africa's mother city Cape Town is on full display in all its glory from the perfectly located One & Only Hotel.
The views are exceptional, the rooms magnificent and the famous city sights, including Table Mountain, are all in close proximity. When you have had your fill of wine, penguins, mountains and culture, embark on your Big 5 safari in a private reserve bordering the Kruger Park. Sleep in luxury under canvas, at Saseka Tented Camp and spend your days on safari adventures with your guides. Candlelit dinners under the stars complete the experience. After seeing the Big 5 you'll fly directly into Mozambique and then transfer by helicopter to the pristine marine environment that is Benguerra Island. Paradise found, Azura Benguerra offers villas with private pools, butler hosts, the finest seafood meals on the beach, spa treatments and ocean adventures.
