The trip to Mozambique, was brilliant.  The area is gorgeous with a beautiful beach and surroundings.  Where we stayed was lovely and it felt like home in no time at all, overlooking the sea and walking distance to everything.  The diving was really pretty with lots of life and seeing manta Rays was AMAZING!  We even saw the very rare Small Eyed Sting Ray.  …the guides were fantastic and made the whole experience even better and diving with MMF was great.  The food was very good, with fresh fish available every day.  A really enjoyable trip to a remote and untouched part of the world.

We got the real sense of being in Africa as we walked across the runway to Inhambane airport.  Our accomodation was set right on the beach well equipped, in a simple uncomplicated style using local construction. The rooms are very clean and beds comfortable, with mosquito nets draped over the canopy and bathroom towels provided.  We didnt spend much time indoors as there was a full schedule and a wonderful balcony bar in which to sit and soak up the sun/ atmosphere.

The staff were very friendly and the food itself (although sometimes slow in coming) was high quality - we also ate out on a number of nights and food was good, plentiful and delicious!  Diving was well organised, efficient and well equipped.  The dive guides an absolute godsend, from the 'Vision-On' pre-dive briefings, to surf launching the RIB, high adrenalin bouncy journeys to dive sites, final briefings and negative entries.

We were accompanied by dedicated marine scientists absolutely committed to research and securing the future of our seas. When out diving the experts around us able to spot the interesting and extraordinary variety of marine life to be seen underwater and spotting dolphins during surface intervals and sharing their diving experiences and insights.  The evening talks and presentations were engaging, informative and thought provoking, the scientists joined us for supper on a number of nights and their enthusiasm for their work was infectious.

The spectacular reef systems had abundant marine life both big and small - icing on the cake MANTA RAYS (giant Mantas and Reef mantas) and SMALL EYED STING RAY - but all of it an experience not to miss.

From start to finish this was a well organised, great fun and highly memorable trip. It started with a sociable "get to know everyone" night in Johannesburg (go for one of the amazing steaks but have it with chips and not the local vegetable called pap because......well....it tastes just like "pap").

The transfer to the coast gave you a view of rural Mozambique allowing you to sense how the people live. The resort hotel was perfectly situated and the accommodation/facilities ideal for the type of trip. The beach was gorgeous and the village well worth a visit. We regularly ate in local restaurants in the evening and the dining was great. The market sold an array of local produce, such as deliciously ripe mangos, and you could easily do your shopping for simple gifts to take home there.

The dive centre was professionally run and the dive leads some of the best I've dived with. I was lucky enough to be in a great group and we were regularly joined on the dives by the staff of the research centre. These guys were in no way boring stuffy scientists but contributed enormously to the fun of the dives and joined us in the evening, delivering informal and highly interesting talks on their specialist subjects. Clearly the highlight was actually seeing the mantas in the water but having been told in depth about their behaviour and ecology etc by Andrea and her team added another level to the experience.

Overall a fantastic seven days, the Mozambique trip is one I would recommend without reservation.
