_Quirimbas Archipelago

In the far north remote area of Mozambique the Quirimbas Archipelago lies just off shore, and is a 200 km long chain of 12 major islands, 20 smaller, coralline outcrops and endless sand-bar beaches.

With most of the southern part of the Archipelago being protected by the Quirimbas National Park, the sea life, and coral formations are beautifully looked after, allowing for one of the most pristine coastlines in the world.

Any journey to these outlying islands will be a highlight for travellers, with luxurious and small lodges being wonderfully hospitable, and offering a true island style experience.

Highlights of Quirimbas Archipelago include:

White Sandy Beaches, Green Palm Trees, and Turquoise Seas

You'll never want to leave!

Snorkelling and Scuba Diving

All lodges offer diving and snorkelling excursions to explore the beautiful coral and view the astonishing marine life living in the protected waters of the Archipelago.

Private Islands

Some of the lodges in the Quirimbas are built on their own private islands.  These lodges have been  designed to offer guests the ultimate in exclusivity while taking advantage of the incredible location.

Combining a wildlife safari in one of Africa's wilderness areas with a stay on a private island in northern Mozambique will provide you with a holiday experience that will forever be hard to match.

Dhow Cruises

For centuries, dhows have sailed peacefully off the coast of the islands, with the winds being masterfully employed by local sailors.

Enjoy sunset cruises or fishing trips, and make the most of the island lifestyle.

Deep-sea Fishing

The game fish swimming in the ocean depths off the islands offer you some captivating and exhausting deep-see fishing opportunities.

Kayaking

If lazing around and catching a tan isn't quite your thing, take a kayak out and paddle on the perfectly clear waters, looking out for the delightful number of fish swimming below you as you marvel at the surrounding beauty.

Village Visits

For a cultural experience it is possible to visit some of the local villages where you can interact with the residents and learn a bit more about their lifestyles and traditions.
