South African Safari and Mozambique
If you're looking a really memorable holiday, a South African safari topped off with a trip to Mozambique is exotic in the extreme. By combining these 2 destinations, you’ll get a magnificent mix of animal adventure and laid back island life.
After a string of sunrise game drives on safari, you’ll be longing for a lie in, a sun lounger and a Long Island Ice Tea. Heading to Mozambique, you’ll be transported straight into postcard-perfect tropical paradise where you can enjoy lazy, lingering breakfasts overlooking the Indian Ocean as the coconut palms sway in the breeze.
Mozambique one of the last few places on the planet to remain largely untouched by mass tourism, so it’s high on castaway feeling and low on crowds. Snorkelling through colourful coral, sailing through mangroves on a dhow, exploring colonial cobbled backstreets and stretching out on sun-drenched beaches, you’ll get a Robinson Crusoe experience to really remember. It’s a blissful place for a breather after the excitement of a Big Five safari.
After recharging your batteries on the beach, you can fly directly back to Johannesburg to connect with your international flight home. It’s also easy to combine Mozambique with any of the other fabulous safari destinations in South Africa by connecting via Johannesburg, so there’s every reason to do it!
