Why holiday in Ponta Mamoli?

In the far south of Mozambique, just across the border from South Africa, is Ponta Mamoli, an unspoiled paradise. Sandy beaches and dunes stretch for miles and just offshore are some of the best scuba diving sites in the world. Divers of all levels can explore the protected marine reserve, with 18 dive sites to choose from, including the premier Pinnacle Reef. Snorkelling with a guide is a rewarding experience too, and an ocean safari may bring you closer to dolphins and turtles

From November to March, Leatherback and Loggerhead turtles nest on the shores while between July and November, Humpback and Southern Right whalesmigrate through the waters. On land, cycle along the shore on a fat bike, or explore a bush trail on horseback. See local flora and fauna on a guided walk around Lake Mamoli or travel a little bit further for a game drive in the Maputo Special Reserve. Whatever your preference, there’s always something to do and see.

Ponta Mamoli can be reached by road or helicopter from Maputo. Transfers can also be arranged from the border with South Africa, just 45 minutes away. Our team will gladly advise on how to combine these beautiful beaches with a holiday in neighbouring KwaZulu-Natal.

When to travel to Ponta Mamoli

The dry season runs from April to November, bringing warm dry days and little rainfall across the country. Visibility for diving is best from April to June and then September to November. The turtle nesting season runs from November to March however this is also when Mozambique experiences its wettest weather so the experience is very much about the wildlife rather than the beach at this time.
