This northern province of Mozambique contains some of the wildest and most beautiful coastline in the Indian Ocean.

Getting here is a bit of a mission. Twice weekly flights from Johannesburg are now reasonably reliable, but connections to Dar es Salaam in the north remain very difficult or expensive.

So far as private island paradises are concerned, the very best is Vamizi Island.

Half the cost but still pricey is the very pleasant Quilalea Island.

For a lower cost option then try Guludo Lodge on the mainland coast, in combination with nearby Ibo Island Lodge.
