Inspirational safari & beach holiday to Mozambique and Zimbabwe
This unique safari and beach vacation explores 2 areas of extraordinary natural beauty, Vilanculos in Mozambique and Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe. Both remain largely undiscovered.

In Mozambique, go whale watching, sand boarding down the red cliffs of Vilanculos, paddling right in front of the villa, kayaking, snorkeling, and fishing. There is a spa at the resort to unwind in after all the activity.
