THE ULTIMATE SAFARI

With an extraordinary combination of sea and safari, LURA Lifestyle are providing the ultimate romantic escape. The spectacular eight-day itinerary will see you explore South Africa’s best-known game reserves, and the warm sandy beaches of the Bazaurto Archipalego. This is a trip for adventurers and honeymooners alike, with promises of breath-taking thrills intertwined with the ultimate tropical relaxation.

Starting your adventure with a three-night stay at a choice of stunning lodges in Phinda, you’ll embark on an incredible few days of game drives and interpretative nature walks. Staying in lodges that will see you able to enjoy a glass of wine as an elephant quenches its thirst in the lap pool, or witness striking sunsets from unrivalled vantage points, you’ll have an unprecedented world of adventure at your fingertips, with remarkable activities on offer including a scuba safari, a turtle nesting adventure, and a night under the stars. When you need to wind down and refuel after a day of incredible discovery, massages such as the Healing Earth African Shea Butter Ritual are the perfect solution. 

Day four of your trip will see you depart the wildlife-laden landscapes of Phinda to take two flights, before a final helicopter ride, to the exceptional Benguerra Island. 

Here you’ll be able to take in Mozambique’s fascinating marine life, incredible beaches and views of the Indian Ocean. Staying in a casinha equipped with an ensuite bathroom and outdoor shower, you’ll spend this half of the trip scuba diving, snorkelling and cruising your way around the island, as well as exploring on a truly unique horse-riding safari. With additional activities on offer including fishing and helicopter sightseeing, these three days will see you in true explorer mode. But as you return to a retreat which boasts ocean views and colourful beach bars, you’ll most certainly leave feeling revitalised. 

This trip will see you go from rhino tracking to picnicking on sand dunes; from scuba diving to romantic cruises. You’ll become immersed in magical landscapes and endless adventures on this incredibly special voyage.
