ACTIVITIES
 SNORKELLING
Snorkelling is wonderful at low tide, even for the less confident or inexperienced - perfect for beginners or children. Explore the numerous, magnificent rock pools, shallows and gullies teeming with sea life and marvel at the incredible diversity of shape, form and colour in the underwater world.
FISHING
Fishing is great and many fishermen (rock, surf, fly, fishing ski or deep-sea) have met their match in the unexploited waters of Paraiso de Chidenguele - this is KINGFISH COUNTRY! Word is that "monsters" lurk here - "smashed up" is often the name of the game! Bring your own preferred bait although local bait (sealice, crabs, sillago, garfish, cuttlefish, livebait) may be obtained in the area. Common shore catches include kingfish, queenfish, pompano, rock cod, stumpnose, lemonfish, speckled snapper, blacktail, shark, guitarfish and stingray. Couta (king mackerel) and barracuda are also been taken from the shore.
* Surf fishermen have endless expanses of beach offering both blue and white water on sand or rock.
* Rock fishing offers kilometres of gullies, deep channels, or white water. At spring low tide, the offshore reef can be reached on foot offering access to clear, deep water - excellent for spinning or lures.
* Fly fishers can choose their spot from the beach or rock - large, deep pools exposed during low tide hold an array of feisty adversaries!
* Ski boaters have access to a surf launch site and can look forward to excellent gamefish catches.
WALKS AND HIKES
Stroll or jog the endless beaches searching for the perfect cowrie shell or take walks through unexplored sand forest to one of the freshwater lakes covered with water lilies and fringed with emerald palms - birdwatchers always seem to return so much later than anyone else!
BIRD WATCHING
The area has a wide variety of birds due to its varied eco-systems - beach, thick primary dune forest, savanna and freshwater lakes. Birders, please help us compile a bird list by recording your sightings in our "Bird Sightings Log" in the bar.
THE BAR AND RESTAURANT
Enjoy fabulous seafood dinners or light meals (’a la Portuguese)
The Bar and Restaurant at Paraiso de Chidenguele are legendary. Well stocked, a stunning ocean view and open till late. Sports lovers have access to DSTV!. Enjoy fabulous seafood dinners or light meals (’a la Portuguese) in the open-air restaurant.
LAKE INHAMBAVALE
Ancient and steeped in history, this freshwater lake, only minutes away by vehicle, is 23 km long, clear and lukewarm. Lake Inhambavale is perfect for safe swimming, canoes, sailing, windsurfing, etc., and offers fun filled time away from the beach… so bring your non-motorised toys.
BOA PAZ LIGHTHOUSE
This lighthouse is still active and in nightly use. Drive (only minutes away) or walk through African savanna and past three freshwater lakes, to the lighthousekeeper's shack. Now trek a short way to the top of the highest dune in the area - the more adventurous may climb to the top of the lighthouse itself … either way, the view is breathtaking!

WORLDSVIEW VIEWSITE
When accessible, the views from the top of one of the highest dunes in the area over unspoiled inland Mozambique and the Indian Ocean are spectacular and unforgettable - the epitome of tranquillity. Especially recommended with ice cold drinks just before sunset.
XAI-XAI
Xai-Xai hit world headlines when this town was submerged during the devastating floods of 2000. A day trip to Xai-Xai may be necessary to replenish fuel and supplies. Whilst there, visit the local markets where fresh seafood, fruit and vegetables are available. Take a trip to the beach 10 km from the town itself and visit the beach, Praia de Xai-Xai.
