Sand and Seas – The Ultimate East-African Adventure!

There is no greater adventure than setting sail on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the world to explore the rich natural seascapes of East Africa – until you land safari there too. By travelling between land and see, you’ll have a chance to experience everything this expansive area has on offer from its historical significance and colonial legacy to its cultural diversity and, of course, it’s unique indigenous wildlife.

The beauty of a land and sea adventure in East Africa is that you can just as easily go from snorkeling and diving, to bird watching and hiking in the same day, thanks to the close proximity of famous beaches and natural, reserved land habitats.

Mozambique

In Mozambique your safari may include the opportunity to whale watch, particularly between June and December. During these months, migratory whales and their calves come very close to shore, allowing you to see them by boat or land. The most common of these majestic creatures are Southern Wright and Humpback Whales but you may also see baleen whales, which don’t have teeth but rather a filter system inside their mouths.

However, if you’re not in the mood for an aquatic adventure, you can enjoy a memorable safari in true African style, from the back of a ranger vehicle, inland.

Kenya

Part of Africa’s magic is the mythology, ritual and vast nature of its history, culture and landscape. On safari you’ll get a taste of this as you learn more about the brave and majestic Masai warriors.

Kenya is also a fantastic starting point for any traveller as it is home to the Tanzanian Serengeti, where you can witness the annual wildebeest migration or visit one of numerous reserves, such as Tsavo, Samburu or Amboseli. This is the perfect destination for family holidays or honeymoons, all of which are equally well catered for at reputable reserves and establishments in the area.

Tanzania

Tanzania is one of East-Africa’s most iconic destinations and one that every traveller should visit within their lifetime.  Imagine being able to say that you have seen the African Serengeti, Tarangire or Lake Manyara up close and in person.  For the brave, Kilimanjaro is a must-see and the perfect challenge for experienced climbers. It’s a five day guided hike, classed as a safari. However, for those more interested in avoiding physical exertion and dizzy heights – there is the magic of the low-land safaris. Then, enjoy the perfect wind-down at the Indian Ocean’s Spice Island – Zanzibar.

These are just some of the many exotic destinations that could serve as the perfect backdrop to your East-African safari with East Africa Yacht Charters.

Sail and Safari in Mozimbique

Mozambique is the shining jewel of the Indian Ocean, with sandy white beaches and a 
pearly necklace of spectacular islands. It is the perfect location for isle hopping and 
experiencing true tropical bliss. 

You can hope for no better view than when sailing breezily past the jaw-dropping mangrove 
forests speckled with red-listed birds and hemmed with isolated beaches - ideal for 
snorkelling but you can explore them too because what many travellers aren’t aware of is 
that your trip to the Mozambiquan seas is also the perfect opportunity to enjoy an inland 
safari! In this regard, Mozambique Yacht Charters is a fantastic company to start planning 
your trip with. 

Set sail! 
Enjoy spotting lurid bird life, snorkelling, paddling in a two man kayak, swimming and taking 
in the scenery on your yachting adventure, which can take you to places like: 

Ulumbwa Island - Beneath the waters of this island, you can find miles of coral seascapes 
in-between exploring little fishing villages, sampling some freshly caught kingklip and going 
on guided tours through the lush mangrove forests. Ulumbwa presents its own singular 
share of bright birds and untouched natural beauty. 

Quilalea Island - Only recently re-opened, in 2011, this private vacation retreat is 
refurbished and luxurious. It’s another spot where you can enjoy coral outcrops, winding 
pathways and lush greenery. Here you can get a real castaway feel between the luxuries 
offered by secluded beaches, beautiful villas and looming baobabs. 

Welcome to the bush 
Enjoy a memorable safari in Mozaimbique when on honeymoon, a trip with the family or 
simply when in search of an unforgettable island holiday. We recommend a marine safari – 
explore the natural wildlife of Mozimbique and visit many of the eco-friendly camps on 
uninhabited islands. You can also visit: 

The Quirimbas Archipelago - Ibo Island 
This Muslim trading port houses one of the most alluring attractions in the entire archipelago. 
Though many of the isles have relics of its silversmith expertise and slave trade, you can find 
no better worksmanship than on Ibo. This ghost town is two centuries old, boasting forts 
from a faded history along with ancient ruins and trade buildings. Safari on the island to 
witness rare aquatic species such as Hawksbill and Green turtles, as they migrate on and 
off-shore. 

Guided nature and bird walks - Mozimbique’s mangrove forests are floral kigdoms, home 
to over 700 rare and exotic bird species, including Sunbirds and Lilac-breasted Rollers. 
Safari through the forests for a rare glimpse of these indigenous creatures, along with a 
qualified guide. 

Experience both the allure of sailing, as well as the adventure of exploring natural 
Mozambiquan habitats when yachting and safariing in and around Mozambique this year.
