Built for people who want a higher-end, laid-back marine adventure with a conservation twist. Designed to feel like a holiday with purpose, you’ll join guided ocean safaris to observe humpback whales in high numbers in their breeding grounds, collect behavioural data, explore estuaries on seahorse safaris, and paddleboard with cetaceans in the calm Mozambican waters. All activities are led by qualified marine biologists, and every guest plays a role in data collection that contributes to our long-term research.
Who it’s for
Solo travellers, conservationists, nature photographers, ocean-loving families, couples, conservation-curious holidaymakers. Single supplements available. You need to be a confident swimmer in order for paddleboarding; that’s about it.
Daily life
Throughout your stay, you’ll enjoy private chef-prepared meals, sundowners with a view, and the chance to unwind between outings. This is the perfect conservation getaway for anyone who wants to contribute meaningfully to marine science while relaxing in one of the most beautiful, untouched parts of Africa. Activities will include:
- Guided humpback whale watching trips with optional behavioural, ID and bioacoustics data collection.
- Guided coral snorkelling with our coral biologist.
- Stand-up paddleboarding alongside the whales (weather dependent).
- Seahorse and mangrove estuary exploration.
- Beach cleans and guided ghost-net removal snorkels.
- Evening talks from marine biologists.
Where you’ll stay
During your expedition, you’ll be staying in beautiful sea-view accommodation nestled on the dunes, overlooking the Indian Ocean. With a plunge pool, sundeck, and sunbeds overlooking the beach, it’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of marine adventures, or to take a day out of activities if you’d just like to rest. Each ensuite room is set apart from the main lodge by its own private walkway, offering both privacy and comfort. It’s a small-group experience (max 8 guests), making it peaceful, personal, and perfect for solo travellers, couples, or families looking for meaningful travel.
You’ll wake up to sunrises over the ocean, a beautiful rhythm to match your unforgettable time in Jangamo. All meals are prepared by our private Mozambican chef, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. From local dishes to international favourites, we cater for most dietary requirements – just let us know in advance. We cannot cater for severe allergies due to our remote location. Please enquire if you’re unsure.
