Set deep within the Maputo Special Reserve on the southern coast of Mozambique, lies the eco-friendly Anvil Bay.
Experience
This conservation area protects a pristine stretch of tropical coastline & its abundant wildlife such as hippo, giraffe, zebra & elephants.
Anvil Bay offers the best of both worlds: adventurous water-based activities like snorkelling, diving & boating – along with superb wildlife activities like whale watching, turtle nesting, bird watching & game viewing.
Stay
Accommodation comprises only 9 timber-&-thatch suites (known as casinhas) at camp, each tucked into a shady coastal forest only a few meters from the beach. One of these is a family casinha & another a honeymoon suite.
Each casinha is built on wooden stilts & features an en-suite bathroom with an indoor & outdoor shower as well as a private deck, offering magnificent views over the beach.
The family casinha consists of 2 bedrooms, sleeping 4 guests, along with a shared bathroom & outdoor bath with ocean views.
Private & romantic, the honeymoon suite is situated far from the main beach area & boasts an en-suite bathroom with an indoor & outdoor shower as well as a private deck with direct beach access.
Communal areas include a lounge, bar, library & dining area.
Activities
Activities at Anvil Bay include non-motorized activities like beach bikes, forest walks, picnics, sea kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, bodyboarding, snorkelling, sundowners & fishing. Turtle encounters are from August to March.
Motorized sports include ocean safaris, ocean fishing, whale watching, game drives & village tours. Guests can also book a sole-use dive charter excursion to explore some of the Indian Ocean’s untouched reefs.
