12-Day Curated Escape: Kruger & Benguerra Island
From Big Five Thrills to Barefoot Island Bliss
Kruger National Park – Wild at Heart
Your journey begins at Jock Safari Lodge, deep in the southern Kruger, where the Biyamiti and Mitomeni Rivers converge. This iconic setting places you in the path of abundant wildlife — and right inside the pages of Africa’s most unforgettable stories.
Afternoons are for adventure: hop into a custom safari vehicle and explore lion territory as the sun dips low. Your guide knows where the secrets hide — and when to stop for that perfect golden-hour sundowner.
Evenings are for starlight and quiet wonder. A night drive may reveal honey badgers, civets, or genets emerging from the shadows — rare sights in a world that never sleeps..
Why we love it: You’re not just visiting Kruger—you’re immersed in it. And with Destination Africa’s deep network, every detail is handled so you can just lean into the moment.
Kruger National Park
Your senses are heightened by the rawness and purity of your surroundings, which make the colours look sharper and the air sweeter. Your guide will look for a sundowner location to take in the sights as the sun sets towards the horizon. The first day of your safari, with a glass in hand and the African bush all around you, is one of the few experiences that can compare. Drive back to the resort at night while using a spotlight to look for nocturnal animals emerging from their burrows. Less common animals you might observe include honey badgers, civets, and genets.
Azura, Mozambique
Next stop: Azura. A quick flight swaps savannah for sand as you arrive on Benguerra Island, part of Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago—a postcard-perfect stretch of Indian Ocean paradise.
Here, castaway luxury meets community-run sustainability. Six nights gives you time to do it all—or do nothing at all. Start with a morning yoga class or a spa ritual rooted in local tradition. Float in your private plunge pool or let the ocean breeze rock you into nap mode.
For the explorers? Charter a boat for a deserted island picnic, kayak through mangroves, or dive into the reef’s kaleidoscopic world. Game fishing, sailing, and snorkeling are just the start.
On land, take a guided nature drive to uncover the island’s birds and wildlife—and get a firsthand look at Azura’s conservation work.
