Our 14 day Kruger and Mozambique Tour is a perfect combination of white beaches, relaxation and spotting wildlife in the Kruger National Park.
This tour conveniently starts and ends in Johannesburg. On the first leg of the tour we head to Eswatini and soon after the tour goes into Mozambique. You will get the chance to experience the life of Maputo City before the relaxation begins on the beaches.
