Island Hopping in the Quirimbas Archipelago & Safari Combinations

ISLAND HOPPING.
• Vamizi Island is the northern most inhabited island in the Quirimbas archipelago.  It can easily be combined with the other islands in the archipelago. 
• Ibo Island, Medjumbe Island, Quilalea Island and Matemo Island all offer interesting and contrasting experiences, and are worth considering.
• Travel between the islands would be by light aircraft or by helicopter.

 

 

 

 

MOZAMBIQUE SAFARI COMBINATIONS. 
• Vamizi Island combines well with the Selous in Southern Tanzania, with the Kruger region of South Africa, and the stunning new Niassa Wildlife Reserve in northern Mozambique.
