We designed this Exotic African Luxury: 5-Star Safari and Beach Combo for a lovely couple from North Carolina. It was their first time on safari and they wanted to visit the famous Kruger National Park. We sent them to a luxury safari lodge in Sabi Sands, a private game reserve that shares an unfenced border with Kruger and houses all the Big 5 of Africa. They also decided to visit Mozambique for a relaxing beach getaway.

They started their Exotic African Luxury: 5-Star Safari and Beach Combo with a safari at Leopard Hills. This luxurious safari lodge is perfect for first-time visitors. The game viewing is exceptional, and they were able to see elephants, lions, leopards, and much more on their game drives! They also loved sitting on the lodge’s deck and looking out over the waterhole below to watch the wildlife coming to drink.

Their luxury suite at Leopard Hills was an oasis between game drives. The glass-fronted room gave them amazing views over the plains without leaving the comfort of their room, and they had their own plunge pool with a view, perfect for cooling off in the afternoon heat.

Next for their Exotic African Luxury: 5-Star Safari and Beach Combo, they journeyed to Mozambique and the incredible White Pearl Resorts. They had a modern, spacious suite leading right out to the beach, so they could go for a swim or snorkel whenever they pleased. They stayed 5 nights, leaving plenty of time to relax on elegant terraces enjoying ocean views and world-class cuisine. They also had some ocean adventures, as White Pearl offers easy access to vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. They had an ocean safari and even went swimming with dolphins!

At last, their amazing Africa vacation came to an end. They went out in style with a helicopter transfer to the airport, taking in the beautiful azure waters below. They returned home feeling completely rejuvenated and already planning their next adventure!
