4×4 Daytrips
We offer guided 4×4 daytrips to explore the surrounding areas, around the 4 fresh water lakes, all the way to the Bilene lake. This involves guided 4×4 dune driving and lots of fun. It is a family trip. Guests can choose between a guided 4×4 dune driving daytrip around the fresh water lakes or a trip to Turtle Rock where you can see turtles in their natural habitat or a daytrip to the town of Bilene where guests can snorkel in the lagoon. These are all unbelievable ‘bucket-list’ trips. We also offer a ‘Macaneta Booze cruize daytrip’ to visit exclusive lodges in the area and enjoy activities offered at each lodge.
There are also 4×4 guided ‘play-pit’ trips in a specific area in the dunes to ‘test’ your vehicle with a 4×4 instructor.

Fishing licenses, boat launching and beach driving permits can be arranged at the resort.
Whale Watching
Every Winter, pods of humpback whales embark on their annual migration from Antarctica to Africa, one of the largest migrations in the world. They can be seen passing through the waters of Mozambique’s 2500km coastline from July – October where they breed and give birth. Machubo Beach Resort Mozambique is perfectly positioned for this spectacular event!!!
Whales jumping, tails in the air and just having a whale of a time. Don’t miss out.
Bird Watching
Turtle nesting Season
Every year between Dec – March you have the chance to see the magnificent Leatherback Turtle nesting and hatching along our coastline. The leatherback turtle is the largest turtle in the world weighing between 300 – 500kg. They are the only species of turtle that lack scales and a hard shell. They are named after their tough rubbery skin and have existed in their current form since the age of the dinosaurs. They have some of the longest migrations between their nesting beaches and feeding grounds and feed mainly on jellyfish. Nest at intervals of 2 – 3 years, nesting between 4 – 7 times per season with an average of 10 days between nestings. Lays an average of 80 fertilized eggs which incubate for about 65 days. Unlike other species of sea turtles, leatherback females may change nesting beaches, though they tend to stay in the same region. Listed as endangered and vulnerable facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
