Southern Mozambique is home to approximately 150 Inshore Bottlenose dolphins resident in the area. One of our tour operators will help you to share some of their extraordinary wonders associated with un-intrusive interaction between humans and dolphins.

FISHING: Fishing is a very popular activity at Parque de Malongane, and we are a spear fisherman's dream destination.A cleaning area is provided in the dive camp for deep-sea fisherman with their own boats, and we've got excellent staff who are more than willing to help…unfortunately no bottom fishing is allowed. Please ensure that all boats comply with the necessary safety measurements, clean up any oil or petrol spills, and check your map for the location of the warming up/cleaning/parking areas.

There is a variety of barrier and patch coral reefs ranging from less than 1 meter up to about 2 meters in depth along the coastline.

There is an option of snorkelling off the boat to reach some shallower reefs for an experience to remember.

QUAD BIKES: If you own a quad bike feel free to bring it along and go wander Mozambique outside the camp, since we unfortunately do not allow quad bikes or motor bikes to be driven in the camp at any time. We provide a secure bike parking area at the Reception; else we kindly ask that you keep your bike on a trailer.
