This stylish beach add-on trip spends 6 nights at Azura Mozambique, the new lodge on Benguerra Island in Mozambique's Bazaruto Archipelago; it includes flights to/from Johannesburg, and promises to be a perfect beach break, and a great place to be pampered after one of our safaris to Botswana or Zambia, or our trips to Namibia: a great end to a safari holiday.

The flights from Johannesburg to Mozambique (Vilanculos), which are a vital part of this trip, leave in the morning. Hence most travellers overnight in Johannesburg before this trip – and at the end of it many will connect directly through to international flights back to Europe.
