Hiking and Bird Watching Go back
 
Hiking and bird watching
Preparing our walks, we spoke with Mozambican ‘officials’ responsible for the area and the chiefs of the villages; we explained our purpose and asked permission to hike with tourists through their bush. This mutual respect gave both parties a lot of joy and they showed us hidden beauty spots. It gives these activities a special character. What to see!
 
 
  • Amazing bird life: more than 200 species can be spotted
       
  • A great variety of flora: beautiful and special trees (like the baobab), exotic flowers, colored insects and butterflies
       
  • Swamps and lagoon areas, huge white sand dunes and stunning beaches
     
  • Small animals: reptiles living around the lagoons, iguanas, small species of antelopes, bush cats, guinea fowls, rats, snakes and a lot of other ‘creepy-crawlies’. You will find their tracks everywhere
     
  • Bush villages: Mozambicans living in their own traditional environment
     
    Several different walks have been organized: inland (starting by car) and on the islands (starting by boat). We use GPS and tracks that have been made by local people. The walks vary from a half- to a full day.
