Next, transfer to Cape Town International Airport and board your shared light aircraft flight to Tswalu Kalahari. Upon arrival, continue to The Motse for a three-night stay.

You will quickly discover that Tswalu offers a different African safari setting. The wide Kalahari landscape supports species such as black-maned lions, cheetahs, desert black rhino, and meerkats. And because the reserve operates on a private basis, you will explore it all with your own guide and vehicle.

Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives. Or, join guided walking safaris to learn about tracks, plants, and smaller wildlife. In the evening, dine under open skies. Later, step outside to view brilliant constellations made clear by the desert’s dark skies.

Fly to Johannesburg and connect onward to Hoedspruit. From there, transfer to Masiya’s Camp at Royal Malewane in Thornybush Game Reserve.

Thornybush sits within the Greater Kruger National Park and therefore boasts strong Big Five sightings, especially leopard. Head out twice daily with experienced rangers and trackers. Early morning drives focus on predators and plains game. Meanwhile, afternoon drives extend into the evening for nocturnal wildlife.

Between activities, relax in your private suite. Enjoy spa treatments, gourmet meals, and time overlooking the bush. Because this is a private reserve, off-road driving is permitted, allowing closer wildlife encounters.

Finally, transfer to Kruger Mpumalanga Airport for your flight to Vilanculos in southern Mozambique. Upon arrival, board a short helicopter transfer to Azura Benguerra Island, one of the leading Mozambique luxury resorts.

Now your safari shifts from the wildlife-rich bush to the white sand beach. This stage of your Mozambique luxury safari invites you to indulge in the warm Indian Ocean waters from your boutique hotel. Indeed, Mozambique offers not only pristine beaches and excellent dive sites, but also protected marine life encounters.

Go snorkeling and diving among coral reefs filled with tropical fish and sea turtles. Take a boat excursion to spot dolphins, and during certain months, migrating humpback whales. Try deep-sea fishing or enjoy kayaking across calm bays.

Explore nearby sandbanks for private picnics. Visit local communities in the Bazaruto Archipelago to learn about island traditions. Or simply unwind with spa treatments and private beach dining from your beach lodge.

Because Benguerra sits within a marine conservation area, the setting feels protected and serene. The combination of wildlife safaris in South Africa and time at refined Mozambique luxury resorts creates a balanced and well-paced journey.

Finally, transfer by helicopter back to Vilanculos Airport for your onward flight connections. Depart Southern Africa with memories of both safari landscapes and Indian Ocean shores.
