Explore the Marine Paradise at Ossimba Beach Lodge

Ossimba Beach Lodge offers direct access to one of Mozambique’s most vibrant marine ecosystems. Just meters from the shoreline lies a formally protected coral reef, teeming with marine life and perfect for scuba diving, snorkeling, and underwater photography.

Scuba Diving in Mozambique’s Coral Coast

The lodge sits on the renowned Coral Coast, an area famous for its rich biodiversity and colorful reefs. Dive into crystal-clear waters and discover stunning coral formations, tropical fish, and larger reef species like groupers and turtles. The nearby Baixe do Pinda reefs near Nacala Bay are a diver’s dream, offering some of the most diverse diving in Mozambique.

With easy access to various wrecks, wall dives, and reef systems, both novice and expert divers will find something to love. Whether you’re taking your first dive or exploring as a certified diver, the underwater world at Ossimba will leave you breathless.

Expect to encounter nudibranchs, moray eels, garden eels, Regal angelfish, and even shy reef sharks. It’s also a hotspot for macro photographers seeking vibrant, up-close shots of marine life.

Night Diving for the Brave

Experience a whole new underwater world during our guided night dives. The Ossimba House Reef, just in front of the lodge, is ideal for nighttime exploration. With shallow depths of around 12 meters, it’s safe yet thrilling. Watch nocturnal creatures emerge, and if the moon is full, turn off your torch and drift under starlit waters.

Snorkeling for All Skill Levels

If scuba diving feels a little intimidating, snorkeling is the perfect alternative. Our calm, shallow reef offers an incredible view of Mozambique’s marine biodiversity, just beneath the surface. Guests can choose guided tours or independent snorkeling adventures, depending on experience and comfort level.

Whale Watching Season

From July to September, humpback whales visit our waters. These majestic creatures often breach and play near the shore, providing stunning views from land or boat. Occasionally, lucky visitors may even spot the elusive whale shark gliding through the deep blue.

Adventure Beyond the Reef

• Kayaking through nearby mangroves gives guests a unique perspective of the coastline’s ecosystems.

• Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is ideal in our calm lagoon, perfect for beginners and experienced paddlers.

• When conditions allow, guests can also enjoy longboard surfing on gentle ocean swells.

Bird Watching and Forest Walks

Take a guided walk through the surrounding indigenous forest. Early mornings and late afternoons are ideal for spotting migratory and endemic bird species. With over 50 hectares of protected forest, it’s a paradise for bird lovers and nature photographers.

Relax in the Entertainment Area

After a day of adventure, unwind in our spacious entertainment area. Enjoy a drink at the large bar, watch a show via satellite TV, or browse the web with free Wi-Fi. The raised deck offers cool ocean breezes and a perfect spot for sunset views and sundowners.
