South Africa's legendary Kruger Big Five game drives followed by four nights on Mozambique's extraordinarily pristine Bazaruto Archipelago — one of the last untouched coral reef systems in the Indian Ocean.
Mozambique's coastline is Africa's best-kept beach secret — manta rays, whale sharks, giant sea turtles and the most translucent turquoise water on the continent, with barely another tourist in sight.
