Days 1–8
Xai Xai, Mozambique
We start our Africa round trip in Maputo and make our first stop in Chidenguele. We arrive in the late afternoon and have time for a nice evening walk on the beach or a sundowner. Mozambique is known for its amazing beaches, which stretch along its 2,700 kilometer long coastline and are home to some of the most beautiful coastal landscapes in Africa. From untouched, secluded coves to lively beach resorts, there is something for every beach lover to discover in Mozambique. Included highlight: Traditional Mozambican dinner.
Historical Colonial City Vilanculos
We continue our overland safari northwards. Our next stop is the coastal city of Vilanculos – with a colonial past, fine white sand, and turquoise waters. This region is one of the tourist highlights on Mozambique's coast. Moreover, the city is known for its fine white sand and clear turquoise water, inviting swimming in the sea and chilling on the beach. The waters off Vilanculos are also known for their diversity of marine life, including colorful corals, tropical fish, dolphins, and turtles, making the area a popular destination for snorkelers and divers. Optional activities: Ocean safari, quad biking, snorkeling, scuba diving and much more.
Vilanculos, Island Tour Magaruque
In the morning we take a sailing trip aboard a traditional dhow and use the day to explore the island of Magaruque, snorkel, and enjoy the beaches of this island paradise. The island, apart from its natural beauty, is also known for the observation of numerous bird species and its cultural heritage. Keep the sunscreen ready, as today is full of sun, sea, and new incredible discoveries. Enjoy the tranquility, the untouched atmosphere, and the impressive nature of the Mozambican coast. In the afternoon, we return with incredible memories in our minds and enjoy a well-deserved night's rest. Optional activities: Ocean safaris, quad tours, scuba diving, snorkeling and more.
Inhambane - Barra Beach
Our adventure trip through Africa continues along the coast to the south, passing many villages and plantations with coconuts, cashews, and sugarcane. Inhambane is a historical city with a colonial past. The cultural diversity of the city dates back to its early settlements, and the city's history is also shaped by the slave trade and the resistance of the local population against the slave trade. Rustling palms and tranquil beaches make Inhambane even more incredible.
