Combine Sailing & African Safari for your Dream Mozambique Holiday




Enjoying a dream holiday in the Mozambique can be one of the most incredible experiences of your life, when you combine sailing on the pristine oceans of the archipelago with an authentic African safari experience. 
Mozambique is an exotic holiday destination in the warm, Indian Ocean and offers travellers the opportunity to explore an abundance of islands, some virtually unexplored, which means the ultimate in private holiday experiences.  

It is arguably the world’s best destination for those seeking relaxation and comfort, amidst adventure and cultural richness.

Land & Sea - the Perfect Journey

Pairing your sailing expedition with land exploration is an easy process. In fact, a flight from Johannesburg to Mozambique is quick making it possible for you to move from your safari tour to your yachting expedition in the same day, quite easily.

St Lazarus Banks is situated in the Mozambique channel about 100 nautical miles east of the northern Mozambique coast. St Lazarus Bank is rated one of the best fishing locations in the world and offer some of the most amazing salt-water fishing opportunities for anglers.
However, just because it’s rated one of the best fishing locations in the world, doesn’t mean it’s by any means a commercial fishing destination, on the contrary, it’s more of a unfished waters destination and if you do get the wonderful privilege of ever fishing in these waters, you can prepare yourself for a for a fishing trip of a lifetime.

So what’s the catch?

St Lazarus Bank is in fact a shallow seamount that is approximately 30km long and 20km wide, converging almost 600 square kilometres. That’s a huge area to fish and unlike commercial fishing destinations you’ll have plenty of room to cast your fishing rod in just about any direction you fancy.

You will be spoiled for choice, as there are a huge variety of species of fish that you can catch in these waters, on top of that, the fish swimming in these waters are monstrous. Just search for catching fish in Mozambique to see what we talking about, or why not do yourself a favour and come fish for yourself.    

Here’s but a short list of the large varieties of fish you can expect to catch: such as  snappers, jacks manta rays, sharks, whale sharks, barracuda, king fish, red snappers, green and

Fishing Yacht Charters in Mozambique




Fishing might not be the first thing people think about when you mention east Africa, for most people Safari, African bushveld, the big five and wide open spaces are more likely to be the picture that comes to mind.

Island holidays might also not be associated with the word Africa as such, and I bet fishing yacht charter is most likely; the most unlikely aspect associated with east Africa.

Mozambique in east Africa is one of those “unexplored” non commercial indescribably beautiful destinations that are a must to visit for any true fisherman worth his salt.

The whole of Mozambique is a fisherman’s paradise, however specific parts of Mozambique such as the Quirimbas and St Lazarus Banks are one of the most sort after fishing areas ever imaginable, in fact, it’s even rated one of the best fishing spots in the world.

You can expect to catch a huge selection of species such as Kingfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Queen Mackerel, Queenfish, Dorado, Barracuda, Dogtooth Tuna, Sailfish, Black Kingfish etc.

What makes fishing in Mozambique extremely unique, apart from the gigantic fish, awesome beaches and islands, is that you’ll have the ocean and islands virtually to yourself, making it one of the most tranquil areas you’ll ever fish in.
