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.

End the day enjoying sundowners on the Save River, sharing stories around the campfire. In Mozambique, go whale watching, sand boarding down the red cliffs of Vilanculos, paddling right in front of the villa, kayaking, snorkeling, and fishing.
