African island hopping adventures
Free spirits in search of a truly offbeat Indian Ocean island hopping adventure should set sail for the unspoilt Quirimbas Archipelago in northern Mozambique, on the Zambezi Safari and Travel Company's newest mobile safari.
Revered by those in the know as the African Caribbean and touted as the new Mauritius, the Quirimbas Archipelago is one of Africa's last untouched wilderness havens. At the heart of these unspoilt islands lies Ibo Island, once Mozambique’s mighty trading centre, all but forgotten to the outside world for almost a century. With verdant native bush spilling over onto coral reefs, mangrove forests and hidden coves, Ibo Island is a beach seeker's paradise with prolific marine life and a rich cultural legacy.
The new island-hopping safari adventures include:
8 Day Dhow Safari
8 Day Kayak Adventure
8 Day Dhow Safari – Embark on five days of island hopping by traditional sailing dhow, kayaking, snorkelling and sleeping on the beach in mobile camps.
