Luxury Madikwe and Mozambique Island Escape

Summary Of The Route and Costs

Palatial suites, private plunge pools, extraordinary game viewing and deserted beaches of pure white sand that extend for miles lapped by sparkling turquoise seas criss-crossed by local dhows. This is the enchanting beach and bush combination that you have always imagined.

Your holiday begins with flying by light aircraft across to the Madikwe Game Reserve - the flight takes an hour from Johannesburg.

Situated in the very heart of the 75,000 malaria-free Big 5 Madikwe Game Reserve, Madikwe Hills offers visitors the most amazing South African safari adventure. Explore the wonders of the African bush in state of the art open game vehicles with bucket seats and fold-down armrests ensuring your optimum safety and comfort. Knowledgeable and professional rangers conduct early morning and late afternoon, or evening, game drives in search of Africa's big game and smaller wildlife.

You then return to Johannesburg for a luxurious overnight stay at the InterContinental Hotel, situated at the airport only a short walk from the Arrivals Hall. Indulge in a spa treatment, or take a dip in the indoor heated swimming pool, and then enjoy a uniquely African dining experience at the hotel’s Quills Restaurant.

The following morning, you will board a flight to Mozambique where you’ll be transferred by helicopter to your island retreat. Built entirely by the island’s local community, this stunningly unique resort has become the last word in barefoot escapism.

Just 20 villas are nestled along one of the last undiscovered stretches of beach in the world, with all the creature comforts you could wish for - sparkling private pools, Mozambican butler-hosts to look after your every need, fish and seafood fresh from the ocean, a fantastic range of activities and experiences, an African spa to relax in, all at a community based project where the local islanders benefit as much as you.
