9 Day Safari To Barra Lodge (Mozambique), Panorama and Kruger National Park (South Africa)

Private Chauffeur Driven, Guided Safari

Pick up and drop off Johannesburg/Pretoria/Hoedspruit

3 Nights Kruger National Park

Early morning your professional tour guide will collect you from Johannesburg (Pretoria / Hoedspruit or anywhere in between) to the world famous Kruger National Park (alternative flight option available depending on availability). On the way we will pass through Dullstroom, Lydenburg and on through JG Strydom tunnel where we witness a beautiful mountain pass of the Drakensburg Mountains. We then enter the Kruger and begin our search for Africa's Big 5 on our way to our overnight stop at one of the camps. At sunset we will enjoy dinner under the stars before retiring for the night to the magical sounds of the African bushveld. (Chalets)

Rising early to greet the African dawn and a welcome cup of coffee and rusks, we depart for a whole day's game viewing, continuing the search. Brunch will be enjoyed either at a picnic spot or one of the rest camps in the Park. Back at camp a short siesta can be enjoyed. In the late afternoon after more game viewing we return to our camp to then have dinner while discussing the exciting day. (Chalets)

4 Nights at Barra Lodge

Barra Lodge is set in one of the most picturesque areas in Mozambique, with spectacular views of pristine beaches and the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Barra has secluded, unspoilt beaches, bordered by the Inbambane estuary on one side and the sea on the other. The lodge is nestled among groves of coconut trees, all rooms have exquisite beach and sea views. The warm Indian Ocean offers safe bathing all year round. The wide open, squeaky clean beaches offer endless hours of strolling pleasure. The lodge can be reached without the use of a 4x4 vehicle, however certain sight seeing destinations will require a 4x4 vehicle.

Casitas:

Our traditional Casitas are made of thatch, brick and reeds creating a charming atmosphere. The Casitas are fitted with two beds, a shower, toilet and hand-basin en-suite. Most have sea views and are a stone's throw from the beach. Barra has 12, 2 - bedded en-suite casitas and 8, 4 - bedded en-suite family casitas. All bedding and mosquito nets are supplied and rooms are serviced daily.
