The Quirimbas Archipelago in Mozambique

The Quirimbas Archipelago is located in Mozambique of the coast of east Africa.

The Quirimbas Archipelago consists of 37 coral Islands of which only a handful is permanently inhabited. The term Coral Island is given to these Islands because of what they are made of; ancient prehistoric coral reefs were alive and under water. The sheer number and proximity to one another are a clear indication that they once formed a barrier reef of several hundred kilometers.

The Quirimbas Archipelago has become known as the 'African Caribbean' because of its breath-taking diving, snorkelling, fishing and surroundings. The natural beauty of the area includes mangroves, coral reefs, tall coconut palms and endless white beaches.

The Quirimbas islands lie in the Indian Ocean, off the north-east coast of Mozambique and stretch for 100km along the coast. Getting to the islands is not as difficult as one would imagine – there are direct flights from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Islands were formed due to continental upliftment, receding ocean levels and erosion by relentless wave action. Today, as individual Islands of varying size and shape, they protrude approximately 2 to 4 meters above the high-water mark. Passing currents have deposited Casuarinas seeds, Coconuts and Mangrove seeds that have germinated and thrive in varying combinations and concentrations, providing a unique Island vegetation.

The Quirimbas Archipelago is undeveloped and remains a largely unexplored tourist paradise.

Madagascar is located in the western Indian Ocean. Madagascar lies about 425 km (266 miles) off the east coast of Southern Africa. To be more specific, off the eastern coast of Southern Africa's Mozambique.

Madagascar's coast is littered with idyllic tropical Indian Ocean islands offering some of the most fantastic yacht charter holidays you can imagine.

The island is famed for its beautiful forests and spectacular coastline and is home to some of the most fascinating wildlife on the planet. Over 80% of animal species are endemic to this island paradise. Celebrated as one of the Earth's top terrestrial biodiversity hot-spots, Madagascar's equally precious marine habitats, only now being explored, are fast becoming one of the world's marine biodiversity hot spots!

(National Geographic 2002)

Although Madagascar can offer that idyllic tropical Indian Ocean holiday destinations there's more to do here than just lazing on a sandy beach or slip beneath the waves to peak at the marine life now and again.

Explore famous Table Mountain, stunning white beaches, azure blue seas, fantastic nightlife, national parks and its famous wine-lands.

Cape Town also has two mighty oceans, the Atlantic and the Indian – legend has it they meet each other at the tip of the Cape Peninsula National Park. With so much to see and do in Cape Town its no wonder more and more divers from around the world are coming to experience what lies beneath the surface of these two great oceans.

The western seaboard of Cape Town must rank as one of the most ruggedly scenic areas in the world with equally spectacular drives along mountain cliffs that lead to some of our superb dive sites. Only a few minutes outside the city of Cape Town and right under the shadow of Table Mountain you will be ‘flying’ through forests of kelp that reach 12m to the surface. The kelp provides a protective mantle for many species of fish, rock lobster, small beautifully marked catsharks, octopus, abalone and much more.

Granite boulders produce reef walls and caves where an abundance of brightly coloured hard and soft cold-water corals in shades of red, orange, purple and pink are set off against a background of bright blue anemones and sulphur-yellow sponges.

Other reefs, covered in seafans, starfish, nudibranchs and urchins teem with big fish such as roman, stumpnose, yellowtail and sharks. Cuttlefish, galjoen, dog sharks and cowries can also be found here.

Diving with seals is an experience not to be missed while you are here in Cape Town. Seals are naturally inquisitive and are often found performing their underwater acrobatics and swimming up to you for a closer look!

Off Cape Point, there is an abundance of big sea life. There are huge shoals of longfin and bluefin tuna, as well as mako and blue sharks. Larger sharks, including the broadnose seven gill shark (cow shark) and the huge but harmless basking shark can also be found off the Cape coast at various times of the year.

Victoria Falls National Park

The Victoria Falls National Park was included on the World Heritage list in 1989. The park comprises the left bank of the Zambezi River above the eastern half of Victoria Falls themselves, and a series of deep gorges below the falls.

The falls are the most significant feature of the park, and in February or March when the Zambezi is usually in full flood they form the largest curtain of falling water in the world. During these months over 500 million litres of water go over the falls per minute.  The falls are 1708m wide and drop 99m at Rainbow Falls in Zambia. At low water in November the flow can be reduced to around 10 million litres per minute and the river is divided into a series of braided channels that descend in many separate falls.
