About the Lodge

The nearby forest is home to a variety of indigenous trees, including the beautiful Baobab, as well as an array of local and migratory bird life, Sani buck, Red tailed squirrels, mongoose, Bush babies, Vervet monkeys and a whole lot more. This plethora of natural wonder allows for a unique opportunity to witness and experience the Mozambican landscape and take in its natural wonders.
