The Under Water World of Mozambique

Africa, the continent which is known for its stunning scenery, National Parks packed full of wildlife and traditionally the Big Five – Leopard, Cape Buffalo, Elephant, Lion and Rhino. However we do forget that Africa has some of the best under water scenery in the world and not forgetting their own sea mammals to spot.
If you are after world class diving, than Inhambane in Mozambique has to be at the top of your destination list, it has so much character as well as a great variety on the gentle giants of the Ocean. Though the diving here is known year round, different times of the year can offer different sightings both above the water and below.
Whale Sharks – This large living fish is one of the most beautiful creatures of the sea and can be found in the waters from October to May
Humpback Whales – These mammals can be seen jumping up and down the coastline from mid June through to September.
Manta Rays/Dolphins – Mantas can be seen all year round in this part of Mozambique as well as the Dolphins
If you are a diving fanatic then Barra Lodge is the a great place to lay your hear, enjoy the sea and the diving in the Barra Penisula.

Mozambique can be twinned with South Africa or even Kenya, which are both great places to stay and enjoy a “Big Five” Safari. So why not enjoy our special packages!!

The Flight of the Flamingo

Whether you have read about it or even heard about it, the thousands (and even millions) of bright pink flamingos that surface on the shallow salt lake is a scene which should not be missed. The place to see this is Lake Nakuru National Park in the Great Rift Valley, Kenya.
It may not sound exciting but I cannot describe how amazing the sight is of the blue lake just evaporating with a sea of pink. The lake has warm alkaline waters, which produces algae. These birds love to eat making the lake an all you can eat buffet for them to enjoy.
The amount of flamingos vary throughout the year but the best time to see them in their thousands is July – August, perfect warm weather and hardly any rain.
Lake Nakuru is only a couple of hours from Masai Mara so perfect to combine with the Big Cat Park.

Why not take advantage of our fantastic itineraries where you can enjoy a night at this Park as well as at other National Parks in Kenya.
