Ibo island

Ibo is a large island in the Quirimbas archipelago in Mozambique. In fact it's more like a mainland with a small colonial town and notable historical fort. Unfortunately, there are no good beaches. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

There is a good choice of hotels in town. Cheap guesthouses are also available, which you won't find in more secluded islands of the archipelago.

How to get there [edit]

The most cheap is to fly to Quirimbas islands via airports of neighboring countries: Dar es Salaam International Airport (DAR) (Tanzania), Nairobi International Airport (NBO) (Kenya) or Johannesburg International Airport (JNB) (South Africa).

Next fly to Pemba International Airport (POL) or fly to Nampula International Airport (APL). Next hire a taxi/speedboat or take a flight on your hotel's private plane.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in the islands of Quirimbas is a dry season from April to November. However, if you prefer the warm sea water, it is better to avoid the period from July to September.
