Take a dhow tour of the stunning Quirimbas archipelago of Mozambique. Swim, snorkel, and take in the gorgeous turquoise water and marine life while you’re travelling.
During this safari, sea kayaks and 12-foot dhows are used to tour the Quirimbas Archipelago. You will have a skilled local crew on board who are all very familiar with the area and will know where to go when. You will have a significant say in the activities you choose to do and the locations you visit throughout the trip.
This excursion strikes the ideal balance between seeing these lovely islands and unwinding at the peaceful Ibo Island Lodge.
Take a dhow transfer to Mogundula Island; it’s not simply a dull ride; you’ll see lovely birds, enjoy pure swimming off the sandbank beach, and have great snorkelling. You will typically have the gorgeous island to yourself as our mobile camp is situated behind shady trees.
Set out from Mogundula to explore the Quirimbas Archipelago. Navigate through the clearest of blues, where exquisite corals demand to be investigated. You can find intriguing rural fishing settlements dotted around the shore as you approach the Ulumbwa river mouth.
You will enjoy an early morning cruise up the Ulumbwa estuary where you will view a variety of birds and mangroves that thrive in this area before arriving at turquoise clear waters and picturesque surroundings. The tour of this fishing community and a stop to visit Matemo Island’s southernmost point will take place in the afternoon.
You will explore Ibo’s 200-year-old ghost town and 16th Century forts, which provide for an intriguing voyage to a long-forgotten era, which is likely the Quirimba’s most appealing attraction.
