Beach and water

The wide sandy beach is ideal for swimming and jumping in the waves, as well as jogging and ball games, like volley ball, paddle tennis and football. Bicycles are available for guests to explore further down the beach in the direction of the popular Zalala beach where Quelimane town residents regular gather, especially at the weekend. Outings by canoe to the nearby Idugo island can be arranged including a visit to this typical African village where you will be greeted with a song and a refreshing, cool coconut drink followed by a stroll through this picturesque village to visit the local school and have a picnic lunch under the mango tree. Before returning to the Lodge, guests will have the chance to buy crafts made by the local people. Additional activities under development include horse riding, kayaking and short cruises to nearby place of interest. The wind direction is also suitable for experienced kite surfers.

Outings
There are many places of interest in the areas surrounding the Lodge. Quelimane, the provincial capital, is a charming port town with various historical monuments to visit, as well as many restaurants offering a choice of traditional, as well as international cuisine. The town is also known for its lively night life and open-air discos where you can dance the night away! For nature lovers, there are mountains, forests, hot springs and the stunning tea plantations of the Gurué region within a relatively short distance. For safari lovers, there are two parks within a few hundred kilometers from the Lodge: the Gile Hunting Reserve and the Gorongosa National Park, the latter ranked among the best wildlife parks in Southern Africa. The Lodge has a partnership agreement with a Tour Operator providing guided tours between the Lodge and the Gorongosa Park for groups up to 10 people, including luxury tented accommodation and/or spending a night in alternative Lodge accommodation between the Lodge and the Park. Trips from 2 to 5 days can be organised to suit individual needs and interests. Contact us for more information.
