Nuarro Lodge in Mozambique

Nuarro Lodge Mozambique

Nuarro Lodge in Mozambique
Mozambique can be found in Southeast Africa, bordered by the majestic Indian Ocean. The white sandy beaches and tropical climate is what attracts most tourists but the area has so much more to offer in terms of culture. The official local language is Portuguese but is mostly spoken as a second language, however, guides and hospitality staff are generally fluent in English. The crystal clear, warm water of the Indian Ocean, with its unspoilt coral reefs, makes Mozambique one of the top destinations in the world for scuba diving and watersports. Other popular water activities include; yachting, swimming with dolphins, island hopping, however, when you’re not on the water there’s horse riding on the beach and villages to enjoy.
About Nuarro Lodge
You’ll find the Nuarro Lodge in the North of Mozambique on the Baixo do Pinda Peninsula. It is situated within a marine reserve, so no fishing is allowed but this respect for nature makes it all the more beautiful. The Lodge was named after the holes formed in the surrounding coral rock. Quite literally, ‘holes’ is ‘nuarro’ in Portuguese.
This 4-star lodge is easily accessible, with direct flights from either Johannesburg or Maputo to the Nampula airport in the Northeast of Mozambique. From there, you have the option of taking a light aircraft, to the lodge, a 4x4 road transfer or a magical trip along the pristine blue waters via yacht charter.
Nuarro supports the communities in the surrounding areas by having almost everything at the Lodge made by local craftsmen. It also helps fund various NGO development projects, such as their sanitation and hygiene programme, by donating five dollars for every bed night and two dollars from every paid activity. Nuarro is 100% eco-friendly, using solar energy and a wind mill, as well as grey water (relatively clean waste water from baths and sinks) and dry sanitation. In 2013, Nuarro Lodge won the SATOA Award for responsible tourism – making it a clear choice for environmentally-minded travellers.
