Gorongosa Holidays
Where Conservation
& Adventure Collide
Embark on a journey to the previously inaccessible Quirimbas Islands, one of the most remote and untouched beach holiday destinations in the world. Located off the northern coast of Mozambique, this collection of 27 coral islands stretches 250 km along the coastline, offering some of the most pristine tropical holiday locations.
Ibo Island, the best-known island in the Quirimbas, boasts a magical setting with swaying coconut palms and powdery beaches. It offers a unique blend of culture and architecture, providing a glimpse into its fascinating history, including tales of pirates and high-sea adventures. Explore Quirimba National Park, which contains 11 of the southernmost islands of the archipelago, where you can search for whale sharks, dugongs, and humpback whales in the marine reserve’s waters.
As expected from such an idyllic tropical location, scuba diving and snorkelling are highly recommended, with warm waters home to colourful coral reefs and a magnificent array of marine species. Other activities include sailing trips, fishing excursions, and sunset cruises on traditional dhows. Your Quirimbas island holiday can be as relaxing or fun-filled as you choose, with almost deserted stretches of beach inviting you to soak up the sun or enjoy romantic picnics for two.
