Beach & Safari Ultimate
Ten Days of Big-Game Safari & Indian Ocean Island Luxury
Overview
The ultimate bush-and-beach honeymoon: begin among the Big Five in the legendary private reserves of the Greater Kruger, then fly east to the turquoise waters of the Bazaruto Archipelago for barefoot island luxury. This ten-day journey marries Africa's greatest wildlife with one of the Indian Ocean's most pristine marine paradises.
On Benguerra Island you'll snorkel coral reefs, sail traditional dhows at sunset, search for rare dugongs and dive in some of Africa's clearest water — all from an exclusive island retreat. It is the perfect fusion of adrenaline and indulgence, smoothly arranged by Private Tours Cape Town.
Who It's For
For honeymooners and discerning couples who want the thrill of a Big Five safari followed by the serenity of a private Indian Ocean island.
The Beyond Africa Difference
We don't just combine bush and beach. We sequence them for maximum impact over 10 unforgettable days.
Start with the Big Five in Kruger or the Serengeti, then trade dust for turquoise on Mozambique's islands — this is Africa at its fullest.

Safari Preparation Tips
Essential guidance for your journey
Bush first, beach second
Safari adrenaline → island serenity is the ideal sequence. You arrive wired, you leave restored.
Smooth transfers
We arrange all flights, road transfers and lodge check-ins. You just show up, unpack and enjoy.
Multiple islands
Ten days means you can split between two islands — e.g., Bazaruto for diving, then Quirimbas for privacy.
Diving vs snorkelling
Bazaruto and Quirimbas both offer world-class diving. Bring your PADI cert or do a Discover Scuba intro course.
Seafood heaven
Expect grilled prawns, fresh lobster, line-caught fish and Portuguese-African fusion. Every meal is a celebration.
Sun protection
Equatorial sun is fierce. Pack SPF 50+, reef-safe sunscreen, a rash guard for snorkelling and a wide-brimmed hat.
