Easter at White Pearl Resorts (Pay 3, STAY 4)

Venture by boat to the nearby pinnacle reef for a snorkeling trip, and you could swim with the Bottlenose Dolphins that regularly glide through these waters – a sublime experience you won’t easily forget. From July to November each year, you may encounter the majestic Humpback whales in their natural habitat as they visit us on their annual migration. Whale watching is conducted from the comfort of our snorkeling boat as we observe the whales blowing, breaching, lob tailing and playing. Later in the season, you may encounter their newborns too!

Cost as an add-on: $90 per person, per trip (minimum 4 and maximum 10 guests)

Our resort is home to one of the richest turtle nesting sites in southern Mozambique. Between November and February each year, guests have the opportunity to witness an extraordinary feat of nature first-hand. Loggerhead and Leatherback Turtles head to this stretch of coast to lay their eggs, and, a few weeks later, the hatchlings make their first-ever voyage to the ocean. The resort has partnered with the Southern Mozambique Marine Turtle Nesting Monitoring, Tagging & Conservation Programme to monitor and protect these remarkable creatures.

The perfect outing for the early-morning intrepid adventurer. Meet your Game Ranger in the reading room for early morning coffee & rusks to depart at 05h00. Set out for the Maputo Special Reserve, which forms part of the Lebombo Transfrontier Conservation Area. Here, you may see a variety of African antelope species, rich birdlife and possibly the rare black-backed jackal – and there is a great chance of seeing elephants, of course! A light packed breakfast is to be enjoyed in the reserve, most usually at the lake’s edge and perhaps meet some flamingos!

Cost as an add-on: $90 per person, per trip.

Hop onto one of our thick-wheeled fat bikes and cycle along the shoreline. It’s a wonderful way to explore our secluded bay – and great exercise too!

Feel the azure waters rising up below you as you surf the waves, or delight in the serenity beyond the

breakers as you glide along on a stand-up paddleboard. Kayak as a pair and bond as seafaring adventurers or set off in a solo vessel and challenge your inner Con Tiki spirit. Float in the azure waters of the Indian Ocean and observe the sea life nestled in the shore break reefs.

Explore the nearby bush trail on horseback, weaving through indigenous flora and fauna and enjoy

spectacular views of the ocean from high-up vantage points, or gallop along our pristine beach and explore the beautiful natural surroundings. Guests with no horse-riding experience will need to complete at least one trail ride before riding on the beach.
