TRAVEL PACKAGE OVERVIEW
Lion Sands Safari and Santorini Mozambique Holiday
Combine three nights beside the Sabie River at Lion Sands River Lodge with four nights overlooking the Bazaruto Archipelago at Santorini Mozambique. This seven-night international journey uses the official Lion Sands and Santorini Best of Safari and Sea offer, combining a Sabi Sands safari with mainland Vilanculos luxury.
The holiday begins with game drives, river views and a treehouse sleep-out in the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve. It ends at Santorini, where exceptional food, personal service, ocean views, a Signature Spa Treatment and a Bazaruto Island catamaran excursion create a slower coastal finale.

A Safari and Sea Offer with Meaningful Benefits
Guests staying at least three nights at both Lion Sands and Santorini receive ten percent off qualifying accommodation rates, together with experiences that add genuine value at each property. At Lion Sands, the treehouse sleep-out creates a safari highlight beyond the usual lodge room and game-drive routine. At Santorini, the Signature Spa Treatment and catamaran excursion offer a natural transition into the beach portion.
The package is distinct from an island lodge combination. Santorini is on the Vilanculos mainland and is reached by road from the airport, avoiding the helicopter or boat transfer required for a Benguerra Island stay. Its appeal lies in clifftop views, beautifully designed shared spaces, standout dining and easy access after safari.


River Lodge Safari and Main Villa Suite Living
Lion Sands River Lodge sits on the banks of the Sabie River in the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve. The lodge has 18 rooms and a sociable, contemporary atmosphere, making it a strong option for first-time safari travellers and couples who value excellent guiding, a river setting and a full-service lodge experience.
At Santorini, guests stay in one of five individually designed Main Villa Suites. Each is air-conditioned with a private terrace overlooking Vilanculos Bay. Couples wanting more seclusion can request Villa Na Colina, a standalone suite with a private heated pool, ocean-facing terrace and secluded courtyard, quoted separately.
A Treehouse Night, Spa Ritual and Bazaruto Day
Lion Sands includes twice-daily game drives, selected drinks and guided bush walks when conditions and availability permit. The complimentary treehouse sleep-out offers an elevated night in the reserve, surrounded by its sounds and dark skies. It must be requested in advance and remains dependent on weather, safety, operating conditions and availability.
Santorini includes a 75-minute Signature Spa Treatment and a shared catamaran excursion to Bazaruto Island. Subject to tides and sea conditions, the catamaran day may include snorkeling at Two Mile Reef, a picnic on Bazaruto Island and a possible Pansy Island stop. National Park fees are excluded, and neither the spa treatment nor excursion can be exchanged for cash if conditions prevent them from operating.


From Sabi Sands to Vilanculos
Lion Sands River Lodge is conveniently placed for Skukuza Airport, but the direct regional service to Vilanculos operates from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport on selected days. When the schedule works, guests transfer by road from Lion Sands to KMIA before flying directly to Vilanculos.
Santorini is then reached by road in approximately 20 to 30 minutes. The direct flight avoids a return through Johannesburg and protects valuable holiday time, but it does not operate every day. Mozambique Travel will build the itinerary around the live flight schedule and quote an alternative Johannesburg routing when a same-day direct connection is not practical.
Who This Safari and Coast Journey Suits
This package suits international travellers who want two very different premium experiences in one week: private-reserve wildlife viewing in the Sabi Sands, followed by exceptional food, personal hosting and coastal relaxation in Vilanculos. It is especially appealing to couples and first-time safari travellers with limited time who value a well-planned contrast between bush and beach.
Seven nights is a compact international itinerary. It works best as part of a wider South African journey or for guests who are comfortable with an active travel day between safari and coast. Travellers flying long-haul specifically for this trip should consider adding Cape Town, the Winelands or extra Santorini nights.
Your Lion Sands and Santorini Safari Package
Your final package cost depends on the travel season, Lion Sands room and Santorini suite availability, qualifying promotion, regional airfare, transfer routing and any conservation levies or optional experiences added to the itinerary. Mozambique Travel will confirm every rate condition and provide one written quotation before payment is requested.

Why Plan Lion Sands and Santorini with Mozambique Travel
The offer is only valuable when both lodge stays, the direct Kruger to Vilanculos flight, road transfers and included experiences align correctly. Mozambique Travel checks Lion Sands and Santorini simultaneously, confirms the Best of Safari and Sea benefit and builds the itinerary around the available regional flight rather than treating the two lodges as unrelated bookings.
We will also explain the difference between Santorini and the Azura island properties, compare Main Villa Suites with Villa Na Colina and clarify all transfer, conservation and activity costs. If an island-based safari combination better suits your priorities, we will advise that honestly before you commit.
