Reasons To
Visit Mozambique

  • Barefoot Luxury

    Accommodation is invariably in small, boutique lodges with privacy and tranquillity guaranteed. Despite offering safari destinations for the purist and some of the finest coastal scenery you could wish for, Mozambique is still blissfully off the beaten track.

    Barefoot Luxury

  • Beaches

    Mozambique's shores are scattered with beautiful beaches, some just small coves that are uncovered with the tides, others endless, deserted stretches of soft pearly sand, speckled with shells. There are few better places to relax with a champagne picnic under the shade of an umbrella during the heat of the midday sun.

  • Diving & Snorkelling

    Mozambique boasts some of the best diving and snorkelling sites in Africa, many of them only recently discovered. There are miles of colourful, untouched coral and a multitude of tropical fish species. Dive sites range from six metre beginner spots to vast coral walls for advanced divers to explore.

  • General Wildlife

    A certain amount of patience and open mindedness is required for a safari in Mozambique, but there is big game present in both the Niassa Wildlife Reserve and the Gorongosa National Park. These are incredibly scenic tracts of wilderness, where guided walks and water based activities complement the game drives superbly.

  • Local Culture

    Ibo Island and Ilha de Mozambique are undoubtedly the jewels in Mozambique’s cultural crown. Both have an evocative collection of colonial ruins that is slowly being brought back to life. Dig below the surface and you will also find much of interest in Pemba, Vilanculos and the small communities living on the Bazaruto and Quirimba islands.

  • Marine Wildlife

    Exploring the waters of Mozambique reveals a wealth of marine life, from moray eels and groupers to parrot fish and reef sharks. Both the Bazaruto and Quirimba Archipelago’s attract nesting turtles at varying times, while there are conservation projects in place in the south to protect the rare, endangered dugong.

Guludo Beach Lodge

Quirimba Archipelago

Guludo Beach Lodge is located on a 12km beach on the Mozambique mainland. The beach looks across to the Quirimbas Archipelago in the distance and is part of the Quirimba Marine Park.

Guludo is owned and managed by Amy and Neal who set out to create an eco-friendly sustainable lodge that directly benefited the local communities. It has been a complete success. The lodge is simple but beautiful, all the staff are from the local villages and many community projects are now underway as a result of money generated from the lodge.

Accommodation is in adobe bandas or tented bandas. There are also two suites. The adobe bandas are spacious and stylish rooms with sand, limestone and clay walls. There are bamboo shutter doors opening on to a verandah - just footsteps from the beach. The design takes advantage of the gentle sea breezes, ensuring the banda stays cool, day and night. The tented bandas are tented rooms under a very large thatch roof - these are also spacious. Inside they are very simple with king-sized beds covered in bright East African fabrics (all made by the local tailor in the village). The floors have rush mats and the wooden furniture is made by the local carpenters. Outside on the veranda are two chairs and a simple hammock. For both bandas there are outside bathrooms surrounded by reed walls with ingenious pulley operated showers.

There is a wide variety of activities to choose from at Guludo. Sunset dhow cruises, village walks, bushwalks and 'beauty on the beach' are just some you can choose from. Then, there are trips to Rolas Island, a PADI dive centre and a myriad of snorkelling options, all of these at an extra cost.
