Bazaruto Archipelago
You will be met and transferred to your first lodge.
This secluded resort hugs the pristine white sand beaches of the largest island in the protected Bazaruto archipelago, 30 kilometers east of mainland Mozambique. Surrounded by the warm Indian Ocean, this marine reserve is a paradise for snorkelling, diving, fishing or lying and soaking up the African sun. Anantara offers a calm, private and peaceful paradise where days are spent relaxing on the picture-perfect beach, indulging in freshly prepared local cuisine and being pampered at the spa. All this tropical tranquillity is spiced up with a myriad of adventure activities to enjoy every inch of the island and surrounding ocean.

Gorongosa National Park
Gorongosa has been through a lot in its relatively short life as a national park. Once one of Africa's finest, with superb populations of predators and herbivores, the sanctuary has been decimated by civil war, recovered, fallen foul of unrest again, and has even been a playground for Hollywood actors. So what’s happening now? Gorongosa is currently undergoing a complete transformation under the auspices of the Carr Foundation, a US not-for-profit organisation, in partnership with the Mozambican Government. Expected to take 20 years to complete, the project is still in its early stages, but Gorongosa already boasts good populations of oribi, waterbuck, warthog, sable, elephant and lion, among others – we can only hope it gets better and better.
And in the midst of it all is Muzima, a brand-new luxury tented camp, resting on the banks of the Mussicadzi River and offering an intimate old-world safari experience for intrepid guests.

The Quirimbas
If you’re still deciding whether to visit the Quirimbas, here’s our shortlist to help you make up your mind… Firstly, it’s astoundingly beautiful—32 white-hot atolls, ranging in size from tiny coral sandbars to larger inhabited islands, ringed by intricate patterns of dense mangroves and the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. Which brings us to the second reason; the waters. Vamizi and Quilalea are among the top diving spots in the world with 350 species of tropical fish calling the pristine reef home as well as humpback whales, turtles and the enigmatic dugong. And the third? No one else knows about it, so if you hurry, you’ll have this charming paradise all to yourself…
If you’re looking for a truly luxurious Quirimbas Archipelago experience then look no further. This tastefully decorated lodge has managed to blur the lines between opulence and barefoot luxury. It’s no wonder they were voted Mozambique's Leading Luxury Hotel Villa at the World Travel Awards in 2015.
