Overview
The Big Five Above and Below Expedition combines the best of SDD's Mozambican shark diving with a two-day safari extension. Guests are accommodated in Marloth Park, on the banks of the Crocodile River right on the Kruger National Park border — and the game drives take place inside Kruger itself, Africa's most celebrated Big Five reserve. Shark and whale species vary by season — see How We Curate Our Expeditions.
