A Southern Kruger stay at the highly requested Lukimbi Safari Lodge offers a unique private safari, where the Big 5 and a wide variety of other animals roam free in their natural habitat.
Lukimbi combines easily with Southern Mozambique, with a stay on the mainland at Bahia Mar in the popular little hub of Vilanculos. This experience ends off with a couple of luxurious nights at the stylish Azura Benguerra Island. This is the tropical and exotic Mozambique island escape you always imagined. Azura Benguerra, the first luxury eco-friendly island resort in Mozambique, was hand-built by the local community and is run in partnership with it and is easily one of the most popular islands in Africa.
