Spend your first three nights at a tranquil thatched homestead called RISSINGTON INN. 

Situated in Hazyview, just outside Kruger National Park, this inn is a perfect base for exploring the natural beauty of the area and taking game drives in the Park. You can also enjoy other locally based activities such as golf, tennis, ballooning and horse riding, or just relax by the pristine pool at the Inn, enjoying a cool drink on the verandah. Accommodation is in individually designed suites and the menu is innovative South African cuisine combined with an extensive wine list.

Moving on into the Manyeleti Private Game Reserve, you will stay at the wonderful traditional safari camp, HONEYGUIDE MANTOBENI, with tents carefully situated for total privacy.  Drives are conducted in the early morning and late afternoon when game viewing is at its best with a cool glass of wine.

After the excitement of the bush, spend six leisurely days enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and comfort of MARLIN LODGE on the island of Benguerra. Each private chalet is situated along the pristine beach with lovely sea views. The cuisine here is a blend of Afro-Asian and Portuguese and seafood is a speciality.

You will have ample time for lying on the beach or by the pool but, for the energetic, there is plenty to do including wind surfing, water skiing, scuba diving and parasailing.There are also island tours, sunset cruises and dhow sailing or, back on the mainland, a trip around the historic town of Vilanculos.

And then it is time to return home, travelling by boat back to the mainland, then by road to the airport, and by air first to Johannesburg and onward overnight to London.

For a totally chilled out time at the end of a holiday, an alternative to Marlin Lodge is Quilálea, within the Quirimbas Archipelago Marine National Park off the northern coast of Mozambique.  Nine private and spacious villas have been handcrafted from local rocks, with makuti thatch roofs, teak decks and mahogany doors that open to a panoramic view of the ocean.  Fishing and diving are possible, but not a lot more!
