Do´s & Don´ts
In order to have a safe trip and enjoy your stay in Mozambique, please refer to the following tips:
- Do not drive on the beach. It is illegal and it is destroying natural habitats
- Don't buy shells, corals, juvenile or reef fish (it promotes the destruction and exploitation of the marine world).
- Don't throw litter out of the window of your car or on the beaches. If camping bring bin bags, dispose of it properly, your local operator can advise, if they aren't concerned stay with someone who is.
- If driving off road or on quad bikes stick to the main tracks, don't disturb the local villages, don't make anymore tracks than there already are! Whole dunes have been destroyed in the southern region due to irresponsible driving.
- If you are a diver don't harass the marine life by trying to grab or touch them. Some species are very friendly and want to interact don't interpret this as 'touch me' or 'feed me' these practices will harm the natural behaviour of the animal and will lead to their demise. Holding onto the reef, hitting it or swiping our fins over it kills the coral. It won't just grow back! Gloves do not give you a license to touch!
- If you want to ride Jet Skis, stay out of the range of swimmers bathing on the shore. There have been horrible accidents and deaths from Jet Skis hitting people
