Boa Vista is a camping and self catering resort. Our campsites has grass and electrical point and water.
In Mozambique we have a problem with electricity so we ask everyone please do not bring electric stoves and kettles as the electricity might not be able to carry the load.
Gas is available in Bilene.
Our drinking water comes from a borehole and we had it tested.
We have domestic service and someone to help pitch tents and carry luggage. Our domestic worker will do washing and dishes if you need.
Accommodation at Boa Vista:
Our beautiful Luxury Safari tents are specifically designed to give you and your family a camping feeling but with style. We call it Glamping. Our kitchen is open with a gas stove and fridge/freezer. Bathroom with shower.
In front is a boma braai where you can sit and watch the lagoon and the vast heaven with millions of star. Fresh Prawns and fish freshly offered everyday after the night catch.
Snorkeling is also a high and water sport galore. 4x4 trips to various interesting beautiful places. Bars and restaurants just a walk on the beach away. We are situated on the beach of the San Martinho lagoon with the dune behind us hiding the vast ocean of Moz. Deep sea fishing trips and boat trips can be arranged.
Bilene is situated on a hill overlooking the expansive Uembje lagoon which is approximately 27 kilometres long and 8 kilometres wide, with soft, sandy shores. Formerly known as Praio Do Bilene, it offers a laid back and colourful escape from the bright city lights. It is located in the Gaza region of Mozambique and is a two-hour drive from Maputo and a mere three-hour drive from Komatipoort. It is perfectly accessible with an ordinary vehicle.
Enjoy the glistening sunsets over the Uembje lagoon from the white sandy shores, where you will be treated to an abundance of bird life, including large flamboyances of pink flamingos, and flocks of crab-plovers and jacanas. The seemingly endless beachy shores encircling the lagoon are also ideal for long, nature-inspired walks, sundowners or beach parties. The lagoon’s tropical, calm, clear and shallow waters make it ideal for swimming. A short boat trip will take you to the mouth of the lagoon and the Mozambiquan ocean.
The village boasts many different restaurants and bars, where you can relax after a long day of sun, sea and sports. Here you can kick back and relax with endless music and dancing. The restaruants offer the best of the daily catches as well as a variety of Portuguese cuisine. Popular drinks include Tipo Tinto (rum and raspberry) or the well-known 2M beer (pronounced doish-em).
Bilene is the perfect spot for water sports. Bring your own equipment or hire it. Launch your boats and jet skis from the Boa Vista beach.
Water sports in Bilene include canoeing and kayaking, snorkelling, windsurfing, kite surfing, diving, skiing/tubing, parasailing, jet skiing, wake boarding, knee boarding, fishing on Uembje lagoon and surrounding lakes, angling and deep-sea fishing charters.
OTHER ACTIVITIESWhen you’re done with water sports, or if they’re not your thing, you can try quad biking, beach walks and guided walks, whale and dolphin watching (in season), turtle watching from Turtle Rock or sunset cruises.
Children of all ages are welcome.
