Quilalea add-on

Quilalea add-on: In full

This luxurious and exclusive beach add-on spends 1 night at the Pemba Beach Hotel before moving on for 6 nights on the private island of Quilálea; it includes flights to/from Dar es Salaam, and promises to offer a highly pampering beach break and a great place to be spoiled, either after one of our safaris or as a holiday in itself.

The flights between Dar es Salaam and Pemba (the main town in northern Mozambique), upon which this trip is based, do not run every day, and so talk to us about how to integrate this add-on trip with the rest of your safari.

Trips like this to northern Mozambique work easily as add-ons to safaris in Tanzania. However, it could also be combined with a safari within Mozambique by using internal flights. Or perhaps consider Botswana, Zambia or even Namibia for your safari and use direct flights between Jo'burg and Pemba which operate twice per week.


Day 1

1 night at Pemba Beach Hotel (bed & breakfast) | Pemba & mainland, Mozambique

Pemba Beach Hotel in Mozambique is a pleasant, quiet hotel...Leave from Dar es Salaam at about 5pm on your Air Mozambique flight to Pemba. This is approximately a 90-minute flight and you will be met on arrival by the Pemba Beach Hotel where you spend you first night. This is a comfortable international style hotel has lovely views out over the sea and a couple of restaurants. It is a great base to overnight before heading to the more remote islands in the Quirimbas.

Days 2-6

5 nights at Quilalea Island Resort (full board) | Quirimbas Archipelago, Mozambique

The bungalows at Quilalea are beautifully situated - ideal for relaxing in privacy.After a leisurely morning and lunch catch your light flight to Quirimba Island, where you will be met on arrival and escorted a short way to a boat. Here you will need to remove your shoes and wade a little way to get onto the boat, for a 15-minute journey to the stunning Quilalea Island Resort. The lodge has recently been refurbished after a long period of closure and has now re-opened as a sister property of the very good Azura Mozambique. This is a quiet spot, which will provide plenty of relaxation and pampering, though the more active can also enjoy snorkelling, walks, kayaking, fishing and diving.

Day 7

After your last morning's leisurely breakfast, you'll take the light aircraft back to Pemba – arriving there around 12:00 to complete customs and immigration formalities.

Your flight to Dar es Salaam usually departs at around 12:30, before arriving at about 14:30 – in time to connect with overnight flights back to Europe.
