    Overview

    Machangulo Beach Lodge is perfectly situated at the centre of the channel between Inhaca Island and the dunes of the Santa Maria Peninsula. This untamed and untouched, Southern Mozambican coastline plays host to a unique battle between the open Indian Ocean and the estuaries of Maputo Bay.

    Tucked away between dunes and forests this beach lodge offers guests a warm and inviting atmosphere. The main area features a large lounge with a stocked bar and dining area. Behind the main building, you will find a Boma area where guests spend their evenings while enjoying tranquil Mozambican nights. The beach bar, pool and deck are situated near the beach.

    Machangulo Beach Lodge boasts 9 Ocean View Rooms. All chalets offer an en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, mosquito nets and a private deck. All the chalets are connected by walkways and staircases to the main buildings and the beach.

    The Lodge fleet consists of two modern and safe powerboats and a variety of smaller craft. Some of the activities are tide and weather dependant. Activities on offer are fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, cultural tours, turtle and whale watching, kids rock pool and nature walks. All guided, specialist and motorized activities are at an additional cost.

    About Mozambique

    Geographically, Mozambique covers an area of over 800,000 sq. km, three times the size of Great Britain. Situated to the south east of the African continent, it shares borders with six other countries, Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia to the north, Zimbabwe to the west, South Africa and Swaziland to the south. The 2,500 km long coastline boasts numerous superb beaches fringed by lagoons, coral reefs and strings of small islands.

    The Geography of Mozambique apprises a vast, low, grassland plateau which rises from the coast towards the mountains in the north and west covers nearly half the country's land area. The population is concentrated along the coast and the fertile river valleys. The Zambezi is the largest of the country's 25 rivers. Mozambique is rich in mineral resources such as gold, emeralds, copper, iron ore and bauxite and is currently engaged in oil exploration.

      Great experience, booking was made absolutely special as it was my fiancé 40th Birthday, Tatenda made every effort to notify the lodge that we stayed at in Welgevonden, Tshwene Lodge, they made it the most memorable day. It was easy to book through Your Perfect Africa, highly recommended.

      Words almost escape me — Monwana Game Reserve exceeded every expectation we had. From the beautiful lodge and rooms, to the dining experience where you are free to select your own wine from the cellar to pair with your favourite dish, to the incredibly warm and friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel completely at home, every aspect of our stay was exceptional. And last, but certainly not least, our guides EJ and Nick were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure our game-drive experience was second to none. I can honestly say, on behalf of our family of four, that this experience has topped our Botswana trip — and that is saying a lot! Lastly, Sydney, thank you for your incredible assistance, communication and professionalism throughout. Your attention to detail made an already special trip even better. We will most certainly be booking through you again and will have no hesitation in recommending Your Perfect Africa to our friends and family.

      My wife and I decided on Friday to go to a private game lodge on Sunday. Nadia was still able to find something that fit our budget and location needs perfectly by Friday afternoon and confirm the booking to us by 5 pm the same day. I enquired with Bush Breaks as well but Nadia was able to get me a better lodge at an excellent price. Will definitely book with them again for future trips.

      Sydney was professional, efficient, and passionate from the moment she picked up my query. She made sure that all our logistics were dealt with and checked in with us many times before our departure. I highly recommend making use of Your Perfect Africa for any bush experiences, they are in their own league!

      A big thanks to Your Perfect Africa for making our experience on safari as seamless and perfect as possible. From the moment I made contact with them with my brief, they were professional, efficient and made on the mark recommendations for me to choose from. Once my choice was made, I could sit back and just wait for what was an incredible experience. Thank you YPA and Robyn in particular!
