It may be famous for its wildlife but Africa also has some of the best beaches in the world. South Africa, Mozambique and Tanzania all have wonderful stretches of pristine white sand that are uncrowded and undeveloped.

The small custers of islands that lie off the Mozambique coast the perfect place for a romantic break or honeymoon. The lodges deliver a high standard of service and the warm waters offer great diving and snorkelling.

Between November and February each year the beautiful beaches of Maputaland become home to the nesting leatherback turtles. You can join evening excurions to see the turtles laying their eggs and later in the season see the hatchings scampering down the beach to the safety of the ocean.

Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia Island are all a short plane trip from Dar es Salaam. Each island has a unique character and we recommend combining two of the islands to get a more varied experience.
