COMMUNITY EMPOWERING TOURISM

As the pioneer tourism investment on Ibo Island and a specialist tour operator to the Quirimbas Archipelago, the company believes that it is critical that local communities benefit greatly from the Ibo Island Lodge development - which is based on sustainable and fair trade tourism. This is quality, low impact and ethical tourism where each guest’s visit make’s a difference.

NATIONAL PARK AND CONSERVATION

Ibo Island also boasts much more than historical importance. Easily one of the most un-spoilt destinations on the planet, Ibo also falls within the newly created Quirimbas National Park. Beyond the warm turquoise waters inhabited by turtles and tropical fish, the ocean around Ibo is also home to dolphins, whales and the shy and mysterious dugong.
