Flamingo Bay
Flamingo Bay Reservations:book@go.mozbookings.com
Flamingo Bay Water Lodge is situated in the pristine tidal bay
of Inhambane 485km north of Maputo, the capital of Mozambique.
The lodge is situated on stilts on the crystal clear waters of
the warm Indian Ocean. This eco-paradise is home to flocks of flamingo’s,
tropical Fish and the very rare Dugong.
The sunsets at Flamingo Bay are nothing less than breathtaking.
The warm Indian Ocean offers safe bathing all year round and the
endless wide open Beaches offer hours of strolling pleasure.
PLEASE NOTE: The lodge is not on the open sea but on a beautiful
tidal Estuary and experiences the same tidal changes as one would
experience at any coastal resort. This however creates an interesting
environment with the Fish following the tide as it moves in and
out as well as the birds and crabs and other estuarine creatures
appearing and moving with these daily changes Flamingo Bay has access
to the open ocean which is a short walk out the back of the lodge.
Guests are also afforded the privilege of frequent and regular complimentary
vehicle transfers throughout the day to Barra Lodge in order to
enjoy its facilities right on the main beach as well as all the
activities on offer.
   
Situated 485km north of Maputo access by road is on a tarred road
which is suitable for normal vehicles. The road from Maputo to Xai
Xai has been upgraded and resurfaced. North from Xai-Xai there is
an old section of road, approx. 70km, which is potholed. This section
is being patched and will be completed in due course. After the
initial 60km section the road is new and upgraded making the drive
a lot easier.
Please note that there are numerous towns and villages en-route
and the main road often passes directly through these villages.
Speed limits are enforced in these places and it is advised to drive
with caution. Do not drive at night. The drive from Maputo to Inhambane
can take anything between 6 – 8 hours and sufficient time
needs to be allowed to avoid night driving.
