There is only one scheduled boat from the lodge and one scheduled boat from the Maputo Marina per day, it is important that all guests are on time for transfers as these transfer times cannot be changed on short notice.
We can schedule transfers at the time of reservation as accurate calendars are available about 18 months ahead. Rule of thumb: When booking flights, select a morning arrival flight and an afternoon departure flight.
Upon arrival at the lodge the boat will stop in shallow water and you’ll be required to disembark into ankle deep water, please be prepared to wade in this shallow water. The sun can extremely be harsh, please protect your skin as much as possible.
