Beyond the Beaches: Discover the Best Things to Do in Mozambique
Mozambique is far more than its coastline. Other than the waters of the Bazaruto Archipelago, here are some rewarding experiences beyond the beach awaiting visitors.
Wildlife
Staying at Anantara Bazaruto Resort puts guests within reach of some of the most remarkable wildlife encounters in East Africa. The waters of the archipelago are home to dugongs, and a guided boat excursion into the surrounding channels turns an afternoon into a memorable experience.
Horseback Riding
Horseback riding is one of the most exciting things to do in Mozambique. It is a unique way to explore the archipelago with rides along white sandy beaches, cliff tops and even mangroves. From beach rides to journeys through fishing villages, each horseback adventure offers a unique way to experience Mozambique.
Bird Watching
With coastal mangroves and wetlands, Mozambique remains an excellent destination for birdwatching. Guests who venture out beyond the beaches can catch a glimpse of species such as flamingos, African fish eagles and malachite kingfishers, especially in areas like the Bazaruto Archipelago during wet summer months.
Dhow Sailing
Traditional dhow sailing is another way to explore Mozambique while experiencing a traditional sailing method that has been used for thousands of years. These wooden sail-powered boats are a great way to take a slow trip across the archipelago, especially at sunset.
