Track wild lions at dawn, then sink your toes into warm Indian Ocean sands — this is Africa at its most exhilarating and serene.

This tailor-made journey combines the drama of South Africa’s Kruger wilderness with the barefoot tranquillity of Mozambique’s sun-soaked coast. Begin in the misty escarpments of the Panorama Route, where dramatic cliffs plunge into forested gorges. Then it’s on to Sabi Sands, one of Africa’s finest wildlife havens, for a Big Five safari like no other. End with six nights of Indian Ocean bliss in Tofo, where your days are filled with sunshine, seafood, and snorkelling.

It was an amazing trip from start to finish with so many highlights along the way, thank you so much for looking after us with the itinerary you produced and the accommodation along the way, there wasn’t a thing we would change

Aaron Harper, South Africa

This was our first trip with Sundowner and we were really impressed. Mozambique isn’t the easiest place to plan independently, but everything ran smoothly and we loved the laid-back rhythm of the whole trip.

Claire Colley, Mozambique

This year we decided to take our kids to see as many animals as possible. Lucy at Sundowner made it happen for us with a magical holiday to South Africa. Everything about it was easy, from booking to execution, even adjustments to fit in a meeting with friends and an extra day due to airline complications. We've been back less than 48 hours and are already planning our next trip with them.

Iain Laurie, South Africa

We’ve just come back from Mozambique and it was everything we hoped for and more. Lucy took time to really understand what we wanted, and the mix of coast and island stays was spot on. The whole trip felt effortless.
