Day 3 - 5 Lake Malawi
Setting up camp on the shores of Lake Malawi, our time is spent exploring this large fresh water lake.

Day 8 - 10 Vilanculos
Vilanculos is a tropical paradise set in unspoilt beaches of sea, sun and white sands. This area has world-class beaches washed by the Indian Ocean's warm waters. Take an optional trip to the Bazaruto Islands to snorkel, do a water-based activity, or simply relax on the beach. (BD)

Travelling south down the coast to Inhambane, we set up camp in the coastal village of Tofo. Time is spent at you own leisure, sipping cocktails at one of the many beach bars, walking along the long white beaches, quad bike trails or scuba diving for the more energetic. (BD)
Days 13 Maputo
Leaving the peace and tranquillity of the beach behind, we continue on to the bustling capital city of Maputo where we have the afternoon to explore this city and its rich cultural history. With its attractive tree-lined avenues, it has a unique European feel about it and it has some great local restaurants. (B)
Day 14 - 15 Kruger Surrounds
We make our way to the famous Kruger Park where the scenery and wildlife will leave you in awe. Our time is spent on game drives searching for the wide diversity of game that make this park so famous.
