Fresh seafood, caught that morning in Maputo Bay, is available from informal traders opposite the BCI Bank in Ponta do Oura with game fish and a wonderful selection of various good quality red meats and chicken available behind the traders, in the centre arcade at Luka's Butchery.
For the more adventurous, we are centrally situated to explore the unspoilt rock pools of Fredrico’s Bay 2km North of our location. Snorkelling is a must with a variety of marine life and amazing corals between one and two meters deep. There are 24 reefs off Malongane and boat-based snorkelling and scuba diving offer a spectacular variety of marine life from Manta and Whale Sharks to rare corals and nudibranchs.
The ocean also offers a magnificent annual migration of the Humpback Whales going North from June and returning by the end of October with their calves on the long trip back to their feeding grounds off the Antarctic Coast. In addition, the resident dolphins, which are here all year round, add to the visual entertainment with their antics in the waves behind the backline.
There are numerous well-run charters who offer informative boat-based excursions and the opportunity to swim and interact with these magnificent and intelligent creatures.
The Maputo Elephant Reserve is 26km north, now restricted by two electric strands, the elephants were regular visitors to Malongane village. This 50 000 hectare reserve has approximately 200 elephants. Once the Futi Corridor is fenced, linking Tembe Elephant Park in South Africa to The Maputo Reserve, the elephants will be able to follow their traditional migration route along The Rio Futi which was cut off during the civil war in the 1980s.
A day trip with a guide is well worth the visit through the reserve with its myriad of freshwater lakes, floodplains, woodlands and forested dunes sweeping down to unspoilt beaches.
Once a year, between November to January the leatherback and Loggerhead turtles make their appearance on our beaches to lay their eggs above the high tide watermark at night. 59 days later these eggs hatch. Up till early March, you may find hundreds of tiny turtles (each the size of a matchbox) making their way down to the beach all the while dodging crabs only to be confronted by Giant Ignobilis kingfish that have arrived at the end of December to March to feast on these little swimmers.
There are fishing boat charters that offer the opportunity to target pelagic game fish species such as Wahoo, Dorado, Tuna and Couta or for the more adventurous, the billfish including sailfish, black and blue marlin. There are numerous other adventure activities which are available for an hourly or daily fee.
These include surfing, kite surfing, quad biking, Paragliding, spearfishing and microlight flights.

If a venue is listed under this category, then they either offer guests the choice of a full board meal plan during their stay or their rates by default include full board meals. a lot of these establishments will have private personal chefs serving guests top class cuisine.
Because this is a popular search and request amongst many, we have created this specific category for exactly that - group accommodation which is very much the same as our Holiday Homes category.

Similar to a typical B&B, a Guest House is usually a private house offering very few accommodation units all within the main building structure (or some seperately).

This type of accommodation is usually ideal for large groups of people going on holiday being a "home away from home" with numerous bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen for your self catering needs, lounge, toilets, braai/BBQ area, some with a swimming pool and some offering exclusive privacy.
Very self-explanatory. A venue will be listed under this category if they offer a specific luxury, private honeymoon suite or because our admin has "hand-picked" the establishment to be perfect for such an occasion based on their location and facilities offered.
