Itinerary for this Tour
Day 1 to 3: Johannesburg to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport & Muluwa Lodge – South Africa
Your Kruger & Mozambique Safari begins in Johannesburg when you catch your flight to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, the gateway to the Kruger National Park and South Africa’s Louwveld. You are greeted on your arrival and a transfer takes you to Muluwa Lodge, a 15 km (about 18-minute) drive.
Muluwa Lodge offers breathtaking views over the striking Lowveld of South Africa. It is ideally located to explore Kruger National Park on a guided full-day Big Five Safari or to simply relax and enjoy our setting in a peaceful wildlife estate, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. Settle into your Luxury Safari Tent that blends gently into the hillside. Pitched atop a wooden deck, it offers breathtaking views over the bushveld, dotted with peaceful giraffe, zebras, nyalas, and other ‘plains’ game that roam freely and are often seen around the Likweti wildlife estate.
On Day 2 of your Kruger & Mozambique Safari, you embark on a full-day Kruger National Park Safari. Head into the park at dawn, the best time for wildlife sightings. Throughout the day, your guide will navigate the park’s vast network of roads, using their expertise to track animals and interpret signs of wildlife activity.
Each evening, experience a truly magical South African tradition, a “Boma” dining experience beneath the stars and kissed by the moonlight. Enjoy a variety of local dishes prepared before your eyes on open flame beneath the canopy of an age-old Acacia tree, as you bask by the fireside and swap stories of your day.
Day 4 to 6: Muluwa to Maputo & Vilanculos Beach Lodge – Mozambique
On Day 4 of your Kruger & Mozambique Safari tour, enjoy a last morning in the bush and tuck into a hearty breakfast at Muluwa Lodge. Then you are driven to the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, a 15 km (about 18 minutes) drive to catch your scheduled flight to the coastal gem, Vilanculos in Mozambique.
Upon arrival at Vilanculos Airport, enjoy a short 13-minute transfer to Vilanculos Beach Lodge, where you’ll be welcomed into a double room with ocean views. The lodge is set just 100 meters from the beach, its rolling gardens offering uninterrupted views of the azure ocean and the Bazaruto Archipelago from the pool area.
Start each day with a delicious breakfast before deciding how to spend your time in this tropical paradise. For adventure enthusiasts, Vilanculos Beach Lodge is ideally situated near some of the world’s best snorkelling, diving, and big game fishing spots, including the nearby Bazaruto Archipelago.
There are many on-site activities to keep you amused and, if you’re interested in water sports, take advantage of the lodge’s prime beachfront location and try kitesurfing with Kitesangels Mozambique. For those seeking relaxation, the lodge’s on-site spa offers a range of treatments designed to melt away stress and tension.
Day 7: Vilanculos to Johannesburg – South Africa
Enjoy your last Mozambique sunrise this morning. After breakfast, prepare to say farewell to the staff of Vilanculos Beach Lodge as you are collected for a 15-minute transfer to Vilanculos Airport.
