Itinerary Highlights

Your own Private Safari

Your safari experience will be as personal as possible with a guide tailored to your party. You will be in a specially crafted safari landrover/landcruiser with pop up roof or open sides for optimum game viewing.

Off the Beaten Track

Avoid the crowds and optimise your safari by choosing smaller camps away from mass tourism with top guiding and abundant wildlife.

Track the Big Cats

Spotting any of the big cats whether it be lion, cheetah or leopard is one of the most thrilling aspects of a safari holiday. Tracking them as they hunt adds to the excitement and appreciation of their disposition.

Walking Safari

Up close and personal as you step into the wild and feel more active and amongst it. Track footprints and add the ‘small five’ to your tick list.

The Stunning Beaches of Zanzibar

There’s nowhere quite like it for the stunning white-white fine sand and turqoise warm sea. Have fun swimming or just chilling on the beach and watching the dhows sail by.

Snorkelling/Diving

Immerse yourself in beautiful waters either beach side or off a boat. There are plenty of places to hire, dip and dive nearby.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes the Kruger a good choice for a safari on this itinerary?

The Kruger region offers some of the most consistent Big Five wildlife viewing in Africa. Game densities are high, roads are well established and guiding standards are excellent, which makes sightings reliable without long or uncomfortable drives.

It suits travellers who want strong wildlife outcomes delivered in a polished and reassuring way.

How does the safari experience at Chitwa Chitwa differ from larger lodges?

Chitwa Chitwa is a small, privately owned lodge within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. It offers an intimate safari experience with personalised guiding, flexible game drive schedules and fewer guests.

The lodge overlooks a waterhole, which often attracts wildlife throughout the day, adding to the experience even outside of game drives.

How likely am I to see the Big Five on this safari?

While no safari can guarantee sightings, the Sabi Sand is one of the best areas in Africa for seeing the Big Five, particularly leopard. The combination of experienced guides, off-road tracking and high wildlife density significantly increases your chances.

The focus is on quality encounters rather than rushing between sightings.

Why combine Kruger with Mauritius rather than a closer beach destination?

Mauritius offers a clear shift in mood after safari. While Kruger is about wildlife and early starts, Mauritius is about space, comfort and unstructured time.

The distance creates a sense of contrast and reward, making the beach stay feel like a true second chapter rather than an extension of the safari.

Who is this itinerary best suited to?

This itinerary suits couples and travellers who want a high quality safari followed by a refined beach stay. It appeals to those who value comfort, strong wildlife experiences and a slower pace at the end of the trip.

It is also popular for milestone trips and special occasions.

Can this itinerary be tailored to my preferences?

Yes. While the Kruger and Mauritius combination works very well, the itinerary is fully tailor made. We can adjust the length of stay, lodge choices or balance between safari and beach to suit how you like to travel.

Our role is to help you shape the right version of this journey with confidence.

We had a brilliant time thanks and it is a shock to the system being back in the cold and at work!! Lagoon Camp was excellent, a great recommendation – we saw a pack of wild dogs on 2 occasions – not a kill, but they were hunting a herd of wildebeest and it was quite a sighting.
