Discover Mozambique From A Dhow

browse (1 / 4)

Discover the truly African traditions and the enchanting waters of Mozambique on a dhow trip. Setting off early in the morning, you can be whisked away to beautiful islands such as Magaruque, Benguerra, Bazaruto, Banque, the Two Mile Reef or Paradise Island at a word. Dhow trips are sailing trips of a rather unique nature. The traditional dhow used today in Mozambique is hand crafted just as it was in ancient times. Sitting in these little wooden boats, pointed tips jutting out from the water and rugged sails pulled taut in the breeze, the sense of the amazing history in this place overwhelms. Each of these dhows have taken a great deal of time and effort to construct and are beautifully hand crafted. The dhow boats are used by the locals for fishing purposes and of course to explore the tranquil water beneath.

Discover the seabed at your leisure off the side of your dhow and experience the ocean as never before. Mozambique is without a doubt one of the best diving spots in the world and certainly won’t disappoint. Enjoy the local cuisine of freshly caught fish or a seafood meal cooked in traditional African style. Before you head back, be sure to meet up with local fishermen selling their catch at the markets or on the beach. Accompanied walks and tours in and around the towns will introduce you to the local people, this amazing culture and a wealth of knowledge of the environment.

Discover Mozambique the African way and travel in rustic style over the waters of the Indian Ocean on your dhow trip.
