MOZAMBIQUE is a paradise, boasting miles of deserted beaches lending themselves to a wealth of water and land-based activities. The lagoons and tides give life to the mangrove forests, which are popular with East African birds as well as bush babies, mongoose and monkeys. The hard and soft coral reefs just off the coast are home to many species of small fish and dolphins and offer a host of easy as well as more challenging diving spots.

THE WILD COAST in the Eastern Cape provides unspoiled natural beauty. Comprising of about 300 kilometres of coastline between East London and Port Edward, the name Wild Coast complements the area’s scenery of untamed splendour and cliffs, which in two places feed waterfalls directly into the ocean.

The glamorous city beaches of CAPE TOWN give you a wide choice of long, family-friendly beaches, white sands and fascinating water-based activities such as shark-cage diving, seal snorkeling and kayaking with dolphins or penguins.

The semi-tropical warm waters of KWA-ZULU NATAL lend themselves perfectly to lazy beach days, frolicking in the waves, and a fun-filled beach holiday for the whole family.
