Based in the northern Quirimbas Archipelago, Ibo Island Lodge has been built not only to provide a critical source of income for the local community and sustain the traditional silversmithing that Ibo is famous for, but also to protect and fund the conservation of rare bird and turtle species found here. Apart from visiting Ibo's Portuguese forts and numerous other landmark buildings, one can also take trips to the mangrove forests of the 7,400 square kilometre Quirimbas National Park to gain an understanding of the bird and marine life they support. Alternatively, admire the wildlife while sea kayaking, diving or snorkelling, take a boat to the island's private and pristine beach or indulge in a spot of fishing. The waterfront lodge which has been forged out of three 19th century mansions, offers 12 large, air conditioned, en suite rooms with magnificent colonial-style wooden doors and shutters. Each is furnished with antiques and handcrafted furniture. Romantic dinners prepared with locally grown organic vegetables and fresh seafood and crabs are served on the wide, quiet verandas or in the roof terrace restaurant both of which offer magnificent views over the ocean. Ibo Island also offer a 5 day fully guided dhow safari, a unique island hopping adventure through the Quirimbas, giving guests the opportunity to see so much more of the archipelago; camp overnight on some of the most stunning islands and explore by day the beaches, estuaries, mangroves and villages of the archipelago.
