More Details
Your South Africa and Mozambique tour first begins in Cape Town. Upon arrival, your private driver will transfer you to Kensington Place.
The next day, meet your private guide for a full-day exploration of Cape Town and Robben Island. First, take in sweeping views from Table Mountain and Lion’s Head. Then walk through the colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood and visit the Castle of Good Hope. Continue to Company Gardens before heading to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent his imprisonment.
Finally, spend an entire day along the Cape Peninsula. Drive the Atlantic Seaboard through Sea Point, Clifton, and Camps Bay, and stop at Chapman’s Peak for dramatic coastal views. Explore the Good Hope Nature Reserve and visit the Cape Point lighthouse overlooking False Bay.
Then pass through Simon’s Town, Kalk Bay, and Muizenberg. You may also visit Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and Seal Island, should you wish.
Together, these experiences highlight why Cape Town remains one of the best places to visit in South Africa before continuing on safari.
Then continue your South Africa and Mozambique tour with a flight from Cape Town to Hoedspruit. From there, connect by charter flight to RockFig Airstrip. Upon arrival, transfer to RockFig Safari Lodge.
Spend the next two days on safari in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, a unique safari destination. This region forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park ecosystem and therefore boasts excellent wildlife sightings. Indeed, expect game viewing to include lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, wild dog, and buffalo.
Each day includes early morning and late afternoon game drives with experienced guides and trackers. In addition, guided walking safaris allow you to learn more about the smaller details of the ecosystem. Between activities, relax at the luxury lodge and take in the surrounding South African bush.
This portion of your journey delivers one of the best safaris in Southern Africa, blending expert guiding with comfortable living.
After breakfast, transfer to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport for your flight to Vilanculos, Mozambique. Upon arrival, transfer to Santorini Mozambique for a four-night coastal stay.
Now, your Mozambique tour begins in earnest as you unwind from your city and safari experiences. Spend the next three days enjoying the stunning beaches and marine life of the Bazaruto Archipelago. The region embodies one of the largest marine conservation areas in the Indian Ocean. As a result, it plays host to dolphins, whale sharks, sea turtles, and spotted eagle rays.
You can also enjoy a private snorkeling excursion to the coral reefs of Magaruque Island and Pansy Island. In addition, you may choose from dhow cruises, deep-sea fishing, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the sea.
This final chapter of your South Africa and Mozambique tour balances safari adventure with island tranquility.
You will eventually bid farewell to Mozambique and catch your scheduled flight to Johannesburg. From there, connect with your international departure flight home.
