Highlights of the Tour
Kruger National Park
The southern section of South Africa’s Kruger National Park offers terrific wildlife sightings. The region is noted for its plentiful wildlife, with the Crocodile River separating it from green farmland. The river is also a great place to see crocodiles and hippos in their natural habitat. Known as the ‘Southern Circle’, this area of Kruger is particularly well-known for its rhinos and lions, with each pride displaying distinct hunting skills and behaviors.
Santa Maria Peninsula
The Santa Maria Peninsula, nestled below Inhaca Island, is a hidden gem with real Mozambique charm. The charming Machangulo Peninsula, as it is also known, overlooks the beautiful Maputo Bay. The village is surrounded by lush mangroves, featuring a traditional market, and local restaurants, serving delicious Mozambican cuisine. Visitors can indulge in a range of activities, from leisurely boat trips around the glistening bay to thrilling deep-sea fishing and scuba diving adventures. The bay’s turquoise waters are perfect for snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and water skiing. In the evenings, the gentle sound of waves lapping the shore provides the perfect backdrop for enjoying a sundowner and watching the sunset.
