The Mozambiquan islands of Bazaruto, a small group of islands approximately 40km off the Southern coast, and the Qurimbas, in the far north,both offer white sandy beaches, lush vegetation and an azure blue sea for swimming amongst the rich coral life. You float above starfish, anemones, seahorses and a bewildering range of jewel-like fish, which extend out to the many dive sites where you also encounter green turtles, manta ray, sailfish and a variety of docile sharks. Above all, there are no people! If you want a cosmopolitan bustling resort experience, Mozambique is not for you. There are no shops, no real roads and few vehicles.

The protected reefs surrounding the Bazaruto islands support dolphin, dugong, game fish and giant lobster. The shallow, crystal-clear waters offer spectacular safe snorkelling protected by the dazzling soft coral reefs. You float above starfish, anemones, seahorses and a bewildering range of jewel-like fish, which extend out to the many dive sites where you also encounter green turtles, manta ray, sailfish and a variety of docile sharks. The more adventurous will enjoy the thrill of a night dive or wreck dive whilst beginners can take a PADI dive course. Experience the exhilaration of big game fishing, fighting marlin (between October and March) as well as barracuda, kingfish, tuna and sailfish. On the islands themselves a mosaic of forest, savanna and saltwater lakes sustains a diversity of flora and fauna.
The Qurimbas Island Archipelago consists of 32 coral islands making up one of the last remaining unexplored areas of Africa’s coast, stretching for 100km of the far north of Mozambique. The southernmost 11 of these islands and a vast expanse of mainland forest are included in the Quirimbas National Park - a conservation effort to preserve and protect the area. Many of the fishing areas and dive sites are only discussed by local fishermen and not found on charts or in guides. International flights connect via Dar es Salaam to Pemba or from Johannesburg to Pemba. Charter flights or helicopter transfers link Pemba with the lodges.
A holiday on a Mozambiquan island can be easily combined with a South African safari.
