Quirimbas Archipelago; an Expert guide to the island lodges


For years the Quirimbas Archipelago, just off the coast of Mozambique's northern-most province- the Cabo Delgado, has remained untouched by tourists. Too far off the beaten track to enable easy access, the archipelago has stayed unspoilt, visited only by the lucky few.

The archipelago itself consists of a chain of 32 islands rising up from the depths of the Indian Ocean and stretching from the coastal town of Pemba almost 100km up to Mozambique's northern border with Tanzania. Home to a mosaic of wildlife both onshore and surrounding its pristine coral reefs, the archipelago has been known as a conservational jewel throughout Africa; whales fill the deaper channels in season, turtles breed on isolated sand banks and African Fish eagles scan the mangrove swamps. The diversity of this marine sanctuary is exemplary.

Today Quirimbas offers tourists some of the most pioneering tourism investments throughout the continent. Children here speak no English, they simply have not had the chance to before; it is truly the last untouched place on the East African Coast. How Quirimbas has stayed this unspoilt for so long beggars belief.

Quilalea

Resting in a marine sanctuary, mercifully free of mosquitos, Quilalea lies off the shores of Pemba in Quirimbas. Without doubt one of the finest lodges in Northern Mozambique the island is uninhabited apart from nine beautifully crafted villas (all made from local materials) Covering an area of 34 hectares and taking approximately 45 minutes to walk around this is one of the most romantic islands on the African coast; rugged and formed largely from rough, ragged coral Quilaleas charm is undeniable; something very special indeed.

Vamizi

Ecotourism is a word too often misused and exploited however the Maluane Project in Northern Mozambique sets new boundaries and guidelines for how this specific type of sustainable, low impact tourism should be run. Research and planning started in the area in 1998 and today the project aims at creating some of some of the worlds finest beach hideaways and safari retreats whilst observing strict environmental and conservational guidelines; without doubt, this is one of the most pioneering tourism projects around today.
