Arrive in Mozambique and transfer to your beach lodge. 

 

Day 2: Santa Maria

Snorkeling: 

Our most popular activity! The Inhaca Island Marine reserve has 2 km of pristine snorkelling and the Picnic Snorkel on the island is HIGHLY recommended, one of our favourite activities. During neap tide days (please check tides at the activities centre) there is also great snorkelling right in front of the lodge.

The use of the snorkelling gear for this is free…

Kayaking:

The diverse biospheres surrounding Machangulo Beach Lodge teams with epic nature, waiting to be explored. What better way to do this than in a kayak? Paddling through the estuaries and the bays or even on the offshore reefs promises some amazing encounters with nature.

If you are lucky, the dolphins might even come to say hi!

Kayak for rent. 

TOURS: SANTA MARIA & INHACA ISLAND

Santa Maria Village provides a great opportunity to experience local living by visiting this small village. Enjoy a scrumptious lunch at the local restaurant, Bemugi’s Place. Nested just behind the mangroves, the village is tiny and has a really authentic, non-tourist feel. Inhaca Island provides a wide array of activities to choose from. 

This delightful island is home to only one village, aptly names Inhaca Village where some shops and restaurants can be found. The island has more of a tourist feel to it and has many more people than the Machangulo Area.
