Expedition Details

Mozambique is still an untouched country. After 20 years of civil war, tourism development has just started and in most places is still inexistent. From South Africa to Tanzania, over 2000 Km off amazing tropical coastline, unbelievable diving spots, dream-beaches, and fabulous African bush.  The expedition takes you to the Save River, which starts from Zimbabwe, for a week on the river. We will fly above unbelievable scenic landscape, hippos, crocs, and all kind of wildlife that abounds there. Starting from the huge concession of 650.000 Hectares that a good friend is running, we will canoe the river down to reach the ocean. The delta of the Save is amazingly beautiful, with lots of fishermen villages and pristine blue waters; and is the home of the last African Dugong, and we will try to find them from the sky. After a week of pure African experience of canoeing and camping in the bush, we will reach the delta where the expedition will end. We will then go to Bazaruto Island to spend 3 days in an amazing lodge and will fly over the fantastic sand dunes and blue waters, dive in the crystal clear ocean, or simply relax and enjoy the 5 star services of this exceptional place.
