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.

Nuarro Lodge

Nacala

Nuarro Lodge is built on the point at the end of Nanatha Bay on the Baixo do Pinda Peninsula.

The beach stretches for several miles and is backed by pristine bush and baobab forest. The small village of Nanatha is nearby and, whilst the lodge is owner run by two couples, Peter and Trienke and Lóla and Steve, the local community plays an important role. The lodge is run on strong ethical and fair-trade principles and as co-owners of the land the community are very active in participating and building the business.

Nuarro has twelve chalets, tucked into the dune vegetation at the back of the beach. Each chalet has a large bedroom area with king-size bed, mosquito net and fine linens. En suite bathrooms have both indoor and outdoor showers. Large doors and windows open up to a shaded veranda with bay views to the north and baobab forests to the south. The verandas are perfect places to read a book in your hammock or relax on a sun lounger. Ten of the chalets have a mezzanine level with twin beds upstairs to accommodate families.

Nuarro has a restaurant with views of the bay. Fresh seafood and salads are the mainstay of the menu. There is a sunken lounge with a library and where tea and cake are served in the afternoons. Down on the beach a beach bar serves light snacks throughout the day and serves rather good cocktails in the evenings.

There are a variety of activities to enjoy at Nuarro. Experienced PADI diving instructors are on hand to take you on dives whilst non-divers can enjoy snorkelling, dolphin and whale watching (humpbacks pass by from July to October), dhow sailing trips, sea kayaking and fly-fishing.  On land you can enjoy eco-trails by bike or on foot, bird watching, cultural village visits and trips to Ilha de Mocambique.
