On day 3 you fly from Momzabique's mainland to the magnificent Quirimbas Archipelago. Spend the next five nights in a thatched chalet on a beautiful stretch of beach.

- Days 1-2:Pemba, Northern Mozambique
- Itinerary
Fly from Johannesburg to the charming old coastal port town of Pemba, where your transfer awaits. Pemba Beach Hotel & Spa is beautifully positioned on one of the world's largest inland bays, overlooking the Indian Ocean and white sands of Wimbe Beach.
Spend your first couple of days around the salt-water rim-flow swimming pool, relaxing into holiday mode as you gaze out across ridiculously blue sea. If you're feeling more energetic, you can go windsurfing, water skiing or sailing, play a bit of beach volleyball, or go on a tour to learn about the history and culture of this age-old fishing village with its crumbling colonial architecture and local craft market.

Matemo is a true tropical paradise with beautiful white beaches bordered by thousands of palm trees on one side, and translucent sea on the other. 24 palm-thatched, air-conditioned chalets line the beach, just metres from the sea.
- Accommodation
Matemo Island Matemo Island is part of the Quirimbas Archipelago and is about 95km offshore from Pemba, in northern Mozambique.
- Days 4-8: Matemo Island
- Itinerary
Look forward to five days of island life. Matemo has plenty of land and water based activities; top of the list for many is the incredible diving and snorkelling. There are seven major scuba dive sites including a fascinating wreck dive, and even on snorkelling trips you'll be amazed at the diversity of marine life - with the chance of spotting turtle and dolphin. Big game fishing is another popular activity.
But life on a tropical island is also about finding your hammock or patch of sand, and happily watching the waves roll in while contemplating what to have for lunch. Although be sure to set aside a bit of time to visit nearby Ibo Island and see the ancient fort, beautiful cathedral and buy some local jewellery made from coins.
On day 8 you will be transferred to Pemba, for your flight back to Johannesburg.
