The Bazaruto Archipelago is one of the best places in the Indian Ocean to encounter sea turtles, with five species calling these waters home 🐢

Here’s what to look out for:

1. Green Sea Turtle – the most common nester, often spotted grazing in seagrass beds

2. Loggerhead Turtle – frequently nesting on Benguerra’s beaches

3. Hawksbill Turtle – critically endangered, but often seen around coral reefs

4. Leatherback Turtle – the giants of the turtle world, occasionally passing through these waters

5. Olive Ridley Turtle – the rarest here, but known to forage in the marine park

Watching one of these ancient mariners glide past while diving or snorkeling is an unforgettable experience!

🇲🇿 Why Mozambique Belongs on Your Island Bucket List

If you’re searching for a coastal escape that feels remote, luxurious and soul-stirring, Mozambique delivers. This is where white sandy beaches meet turquoise waters, and where every sunset over the Indian Ocean feels like magic 🌅

Mozambique offers:

• Untouched beaches and crystal-clear waters, far from the crowds

• The Bazaruto Archipelago, a protected marine paradise rich with coral reefs, turtles, dolphins and manta rays

• A blend of African, Arabic and Portuguese influences that give Mozambique a unique cultural heartbeat

• A chance to combine barefoot luxury with immersive nature, from dhow cruises to snorkeling reefs bursting with life.

🌿 Did you know?
The Bazaruto Archipelago is often called the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”, thanks to its dazzling dunes, shifting sands and emerald lagoons that change with the tides.

Wildlife to keep an eye out for in Zambia 👀

Zambia is home to some of the most unique and exciting wildlife in Southern Africa. From iconic predators to rare endemic species, every game drive holds the promise of something extraordinary. Here are just a few animals to keep an eye out for:

🦜 Carmine Bee-Eaters
These dazzling red and turquoise birds are a seasonal highlight. Between August and October, they arrive in large colonies to nest in the vertical banks of the Luangwa River. Watching them swoop, feed, and call to one another is one of the most mesmerising sights of the dry season.

🦒 Thornicroft’s Giraffe
Found only in the Luangwa Valley, this beautiful subspecies is easily recognised by its lighter markings and smaller range. It’s a true Zambia exclusive.

🦓 Crawshay’s Zebra
Unlike other zebras across Africa, this subspecies has narrower, more closely spaced stripes. It is another animal found only in this part of the continent.

Also look out for:
Elephants, lions, wild dogs, buffalo, hippos, hundreds of bird species and more!

📸 Save this checklist for your next safari and tag a friend you’d love to go wildlife spotting with.

🦁 South Luangwa National Park | The Wild Heart of Zambia

South Luangwa is one of Africa’s best kept safari secrets. Located in eastern Zambia and just a short flight from Lusaka, this extraordinary park offers an authentic, untamed experience that seasoned safari travellers often rank among their all time favourites.

The landscape is shaped by the Luangwa River, which meanders through floodplains, woodlands, and seasonal lagoons. During the dry months, animals gather along its banks, creating excellent opportunities for game viewing. Elephants, buffalo, hippos, and predators are all drawn to the water, often within sight of your camp.

South Luangwa is often called the Valley of the Leopard, known for some of the most consistent sightings of these elusive animals anywhere in Africa. The park is famous for its dense concentration of big cats. Leopards are frequently spotted on afternoon and evening game drives, while lions are often seen resting beneath winterthorn trees or patrolling the riverbanks at dawn.
