Itinerary

100% customisable for you

Continue your journey this morning as you land in Johannesburg and catch an onward flight to Pemba Mozambique. The flight time is around three hours so you'll land by lunchtime. Once landed, you'll be met by one of our team who will be waiting to escort you on the final leg of your journey. Hop aboard a light aircraft and take a scenic 25-minute flight from Pemba airport to your hotel on beautiful Ibo Island.

When you arrive, settle in with a late lunch and enjoy the views of the azure waters and soft sandy beaches which surround the island.

The next three days will follow a similar pattern to yesterday. Days will be spent island hopping from one deserted beach to the next, snorkelling on pristine reefs, and kayaking through wildlife rich mangroves. Dedicated birding and cultural excursions can also both be arranged. Your evenings will be spent dining around open campfires and sleeping in your dome tents.

The real beauty of this experience is the isolation of it all, with the dhow and many of the islands entirely to yourself, you'll almost forget that civilisation is just a short sail away.

Today you will say goodbye to one island paradise and head for another. After breakfast you'll be transferred from Ibo Island to the neighbouring Quirimba Sandbank by boat, from here you can then pick up your onward boat transfer to Quilalea Island where your next hotel is found. As the distances are small this will all take approximately 20 minutes. Made up of several private villas, the resort here is a great choice for those seeking upmost privacy in another stunning setting. Settle into yours and with your host on hand to cater to your evert whim, enjoy feeling like a very well looked after castaway.
