Highlights of Saint Helena & Kruger Safari Tour

Diving St Helena 

St Helena is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world, located in the South Atlantic Ocean. Known for its unspoiled landscapes and warm hospitality, the island is a haven for divers and nature lovers alike. The surrounding waters offer world-class diving with excellent visibility, abundant marine life, and unique topography.

The island is home to over 50 endemic marine species, and sightings often include dolphins, Chilean devil rays, sea turtles, and seasonal whale sharks (January to April). Divers can explore historic shipwrecks like the SS Papanui, MV Frontier, and the WWII RFA Darkdale.

Peak dive season runs from January to June, with February to March offering the best visibility of up to 45 m. Diving is operated by the professional and locally owned Dive Saint Helena, with experienced PADI-certified guides and support staff. Between dives, enjoy guided island tours and soak in the laid-back island lifestyle.

Kruger National Park (Private Mluwati Concession) 

The journey continues in Kruger National Park’s private Mluwati Concession, a pristine reserve teeming with iconic African wildlife. The concession is known for its diverse terrain and high predator density, including lion, leopard, cheetah, and wild dog. Daily game drives provide exceptional photographic opportunities.
