Activites and things to do near Tembe Lodge

One has a number of pristine bays in which to fish (fly, surf, or paddle ski), snorkel, collect seashells or simply soak up the sun. The best beach at low tide is in front of the lodge and swimming and snorkeling is superb in the protected bay inside a large reef which runs out to sea. The drive down to the beach takes about 3 minutes. There are dozens of rock pools and a leisurely walk definitely relaxes the soul! Mamoli bay is a 1.5km drive north and this bay is also very protected, especially if a south wind is blowing. The lodge there does unfortunately not cater for day visitors. 6km to the south is Ponta Malangane and a further 5km south is Ponta d’Ouro. Numerous bars and restaurants are available if you feel the need to but curios or have a break from your seclusion at Tembe Lodge. They both offer scuba diving and dolphin viewing trips.

If you want to sample some Mozambiquan beer then our staff will point you to the closest baraca where the whole range of Moz beers are available. Patrons are most friendly and the vibe is ultra relaxed. Tembe Elephant Park is about 15km away and if you are tired of beaching, it will be worth a trip. Ask the lodge staff to organize you a guide as the road is sand tracks and rolling veld.
