Mozambique Safari Packages 2025 | Bush & Beach Holidays

Why Choose a Mozambique Safari?

A Mozambique safari is unlike any other in Africa. It combines classic Big 5 wildlife adventures with tropical coastlines, freshwater lakes, and remote wilderness zones. The country’s national parks and reserves are still underexplored, offering intimate game viewing without the crowds. From the rugged terrains of Gorongosa National Park to the tranquil beaches of the Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique invites you into untamed landscapes where authenticity meets adventure. Add pristine beach escapes, and you have a rare bush-to-beach combination.

What’s Best for You in Mozambique?

If you’re seeking the ultimate African safari with a beach finale, two standout combinations await: Gorongosa and Bazaruto or Kruger and Bazaruto. Gorongosa National Park offers raw, rewilded African terrain ideal for conservation-focused travelers. Then, unwind on the white sands of Bazaruto Island, diving coral reefs and indulging in barefoot luxury.

Alternatively, many travelers choose South Africa’s famous Kruger National Park for iconic Big 5 game drives, followed by a hop over to Mozambique’s Vilanculos or Bazaruto Archipelago. Enjoy high-impact safari lodges, then relax in beachside bliss.

Gorongosa vs. Bazaruto Landscapes – What’s the Difference?

Gorongosa offers dense floodplains and miombo woodlands in a vast inland ecosystem, while Bazaruto provides turquoise marine landscapes, coral reefs, and island shores. A combined itinerary gives you rainforest hikes and snorkeling safaris in one trip.

Pair these contrasting experiences with a stay at a luxury beach lodge for the perfect blend of bush and beach.

FAQs About Mozambique Holidays and Safaris

How much does a Mozambique safari cost?

A Mozambique safari can range from $3,500 to $10,000+ per person depending on location, length of stay, and level of accommodation. Packages that combine Kruger National Park with Vilanculos or Bazaruto Archipelago offer excellent value for luxury seekers.

What is the best time of year for a Mozambique safari?

The dry season, from May to October, is the best time for a Mozambique safari. Wildlife sightings are higher, and coastal conditions are ideal for diving and beach activities. November to April is wetter and lush but may affect accessibility to some parks. Plan ahead for seasonal pricing and availability.

Is Mozambique or Botswana better for safari?

Mozambique offers a more exclusive and underexplored safari experience, ideal for travelers combining adventure with Indian Ocean beach holidays. Botswana, while exceptional for game viewing, is more established and can be pricier. Mozambique excels in unique ecosystems, coastal proximity, and remote lodges. Discover both with Voyage2Africa.

Does Mozambique have good safaris?

Yes, Mozambique features superb safaris in lesser-known but thriving parks like Gorongosa. Rich biodiversity, conservation focus, and low visitor numbers make for an intimate safari experience. Combine with Bazaruto Archipelago for the ultimate bush and beach itinerary.

What should I pack for a Mozambique safari?

Travelers should pack breathable neutral clothing, insect repellent, sunscreen, hat, walking shoes, and swimwear. Include light long-sleeves for evenings and binoculars or a camera for game drives. Some lodges offer laundry services. Consult your final itinerary for destination-specific items and seasonal suggestions.

Can I combine a Mozambique safari with another country?

Absolutely. Mozambique safaris are often paired with South Africa, especially Kruger National Park. It’s an easy transition from bush to beach, using Johannesburg as a hub. Voyage2Africa offers seamless border logistics and multi-country packages.

Are there malaria risks in Mozambique?

Yes, Mozambique is a malaria zone, and travelers are advised to take antimalarial precautions. Lodges typically provide mosquito nets and repellent. It’s important to consult a travel clinic before departure. Pack long-sleeved clothing and use insect repellent, especially at dawn and dusk.

Why is Mozambique the best beach add-on after a Kruger safari?

Mozambique offers seamless access from Kruger via short flights to Vilanculos or Maputo, making it the top choice for a bush-to-beach escape. Unlike other destinations, its coastline remains uncrowded, with barefoot luxury resorts, pristine white sand beaches, and vibrant coral reefs. The Bazaruto Archipelago is especially attractive, offering activities like snorkeling, dhow cruises, and spa indulgence. Whether you stay at Azura Benguerra or Santorini Mozambique, the privacy and tranquility after an intense safari make Mozambique the best choice for unwinding.
