Mozambique Beach Escape – 4 nights Sabi Sand | 3 nights Kruger National Park | 8 nights Mozambique

Overview

As this was our third visit to Africa we knew exactly what kind of experiences we wanted to do but did not really know where to go for the best safari and beach destinations. After contacting Kerry again and explaining that we wanted to do about a week in Game Reserves with good game viewing in comfortable lodges and another week at a small but luxurious beach resort she certainly delivered. We did not want to spend a lot of time travelling between the Game Reserves and the Beach Resort but we also did not want to settle for second best.

Kerry came up with the ideal solution and being able to be on Safari in the Kruger National Park on one day and relaxing on a beautiful yet private Beach resort the next was perfect.

Thank you Kerry for putting this together for us and we are so happy that it worked perfectly. Again, it has been great working with you. Look forward to our next trip!

Day 01 :

Arrival in Sabi Sand via Johannesburg

Upon arrival at OR Tambo Airpor, you clear through customs and immigration. Make your way to the domestic departures and board your flight to Nelspruit Airport, the gateway into South Africa’s premier safari area.

You are met at the airport by your driver and transferred by road to the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park. You have time to settle into the Inyati Lodge before High Tea and then depart on your first afternoon game drive.

After your game drive, which includes a sun downers stop, you return to the lodge for a hearty dinner and drinks.

Day 02 :

Sabi Sand Game Reserve (4 nights)

For the next three days you spend your time living the safari lifestyle in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve hosted by the staff of the Inyati Game Lodge. Wake up early, have coffee and pastries in the lodge lounge and then board your open game viewing vehicle for your morning game drive. Your ranger and tracker will head out into the bushveld to track and find interesting and varied game viewing opportunities. They are extremely knowledgeable and willing to share interesting information regarding the fauna and flora of the local area.

After returning to the lodge have a hearty breakfast while you discuss your morning’s sightings, and then head back to your chalet for a bit of rest. The day can be spent relaxing or perhaps going on a walking safari with your tracker. It is a totally different experience to be on foot in a big 5 reserve and an experience not to be missed. Lunch is taken at the lodge and then a break before high tea, remount the game drive vehicle and head off for your afternoon game drive including a stop for sun downers in a remote location. Arrive back at the lodge for a sumptuous dinner and then a few drinks around the open fire pit. Bedtime and then do it all again.
