Sailaway Dhow Safaris

Sailaways' rustic beach camps are exactly that - rustic, but perfectly comfortable. Seafood is the order of the day, and your captain and deckhands will rustle up fresh fish and salads either on board the boat, or over a fire on the beach. All safaris include snorkelling gear (masks, boots, fins etc), and if you'd like to try a spot of scuba diving, professional dive operators can be arranged to meet you at the various destinations. And just in case the weather is too perfect and there's not a breath of wind, an auxiliary motor ensures that you're still able to reach your next castaway destination.

All sleeping tents have camping mattresses, pillows, sleeping bags and solar lights. Hot showers and toilet facilities are also available, so there's no need to rough it too much, but this is not luxurious by any means - and that's what makes it so brilliant.

If you are lucky, dugongs are sometimes seen in the channel between Bazaruto and Benguerra Island, so keep an eye out for these rare ocean wonders. There's plenty of snorkelling to be done, particularly at the magnificent Two Mile Reef or around the Benguerra Island trails and lakes. There's a fair chance that you'll see turtles and rays and it's not uncommon to have an entire pod of dolphins swim alongside the boat whilst you sail. Magic.
