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.

Madagascar is one of the most exotic and mysterious islands in the world.

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!

In a recent marine survey of Madagascar researchers documented 304 hard coral species - close to the total number of 340 species that were previously recorded for the entire western Indian Ocean and representing more than one-third of the world's total known species of hard corals. (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.

Madagascar is any nature lover dream with unspoilt beaches, beautiful forests, fascinating wildlife and remote islands.

Not only is the eastern African coastline rated one of the best  diving destinations of the world but also the coastline of South Africa, this effectively means, that the entire coast line from Cape Town north for 4000km to Tanzania is now recognised as offering some of the best diving in the world.
That’s a lot of scuba diving to get through and will keep you busy on your scuba diving adventure holiday for a quite a while.

Diver Magazine, a respected and influential dive magazine in the UK reviewed the world’s Top Ten 'must see - must dive' sites. Three of the top ten dives that were chosen are in Africa!

What makes diving in Africa even better is the fact that its best dive destinations are not that easy to get to. This is great news, because it means you won't be surrounded by hordes of other divers and boats. This will give you a unique and tranquil holiday away from literally everything, giving you time to seriously relax and enjoy something extraordinary.
