We arrange add-ons to several areas in Mozambique – the Bazaruto peninsular, In and around Maputo Tofu & Inhambane area and Nampula/Isla de Mozambique.
Most people will fly in from Johannesburg with regular flights to Maputo, Inhambane, Vilanculos and Nampula.
The Bazaruto Archipelago just off the coast by Vilanculos is a protected marine land area and offers stunningly beautiful lodges n white sandy beaches with a selection of activities including watersports and Dhow cruises – heaven! This area is a popular Honeymoon add on pre or post-safari, The town of Vilanculos on the mainland has some beautiful lodges along its coastline which are a little more affordable than the islands and we highly recommend this area.
The Maputo area and Inhaca island is easily accessible with a flight from Johannesburg or Harare, Maputo, formerly known as Lourenco Marques, has beautiful Portuguese architecture and is an interesting and vibrant city, renowned for its seafood restaurants and is worth a couple of night stay, There is a good selection of affordable lodges within easy reach of Maputo accessed by road transfer and boat,
The Nampula and the nearby Ilha de Mozambique is one of our favourite areas being steeped in history as this is where the Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama landed in the 16th century. This interesting island has much historic Portuguese architecture to explore as well as relaxing on the beautiful beaches.
Tofu is an idyllic fishing village accessed from Inhambane airport and offers a delightful and affordable Guesthouse dotted along the beach. Snorkelling with whale sharks, found at certain times of the year in this bay, is a great experience and one we have enjoyed ourselves.
