Quirimbas Islands: Vamizi

Vamizi Island, in the Quirimbas Archipelago, is a place for people who want to relax and enjoy the leisurely pace of island life.

The biodiversity at Vimizi Island is incredible, with abundant tropical vegetation and samango monkeys playing in the trees.

You can walk forever along deserted beaches where you may see tracks left by hawksbill and green turtles; over 300 turtle nest sites have been protected to date.

The Quirimbas islands are rated as one of the world's top dive sites. Reefs of unbleached coral provide idyllic conditions for both snorkeling and scuba diving, and all six of Vamizi's beaches slope gently into the sea - so you can safely wade out into the warm tropical water.

Vamizi also offers phenomenal deep sea fishing. In fact in 2008 guests staying on the island broke 2 world fishing records and 2 African fishing records .

We'd recommend staying in one of the luxurious beach houses at Vamizi Island Lodge, where a selection of loungers, swinging beds and 'Swahili day beds' provide perfect spots to while away the heat of the day - gazing over dog-eared pages at the translucent ocean.
