Environment Info
Zavora is recognized to be one of the best fishing areas in Mozambique.
Launching is done from the bay that is protected by a reef. This reef also creates a natural tidal pool that is excellent for snorkelling and swimming. The location of the bar, restaurant and deck offers a magnificent view of the Zavora reef and its bay. Plenty of Humpback whales are sighted from the deck of the bar during June to November. Occasionally Eagle and Manta Rays burst from the surface in brief flights as well as the streamlined and graceful Sailfish. Dolphins are regularly seen feeding and playing in the bay. Away from the sea, quad bike excursions to the inland lakes are an experience not to be missed.
