Quirimba island

Quirimba is an island in the archipelago of Quirimbas in Mozambique. It is inhabited by some locals, so don't expect that privacy as on more exclusive islands of the archipelago. On the other hand, you may enjoy unique low key atmosphere of this cozy place. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

There are several inexpensive family guesthouses in the Quirimba island. However, they are poorly presented in international reservation systems.

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.
