Area Attractions

Accommodation - Guludo Beach Lodge - Quirimbas Archipelago Watch the sun rise, burning red over Rolas Island, and the sky turn from crimson to dazzling orange through bleary eyes from the comfort of your own, extravagant king-sized bed - only the occasional monkey playing in your hammock will disturb the peace. The spacious tented bandas at Guludo Beach Lodge give panoramic views through the netted walls, creating a feeling of being outside while inside. Raised bedrooms sit under an expansive palm-thatched roof, opening upwards and outwards to make the most of the stunning sea views and cooling sea breeze. Each of the nine tented-bandas at Guludo have a quirky alfresco marbled bathroom. Activities - Guludo Beach Lodge - Quirimbas Archipelago Scuba Diving - Guludo Beach Lodge Guludo is perfectly positioned to dive some of the best, and most pristine, coral reefs in the world. Opposite Guludo's calm bay is the Quirimbas Archipelago's fringing reef with breath-taking coral diversity as well as copious schools of game fish, turtles, sharks and, at the right time of year, humpback whales. With vast diving diversity Guludo offers a range of diving from sheltered tranquil coral gardens to drop-offs with strong currents. Rolas Island Rolas is our most popular activity and it’s not hard to see why. Just a short sail from Guludo, this tiny island is surrounded by crystal clear waters with breath-taking reefs to snorkel and a stunning white sandy peninsular. Local legend says the island is owned by the sacred, resident coconut crabs, the largest crabs in the world, who dictate the weather and the fate of anyone who dares upset them. During your visit to Rolas you will meet some of the Guludo fishermen who use the island as temporary base and, if you dare, go with “old man coconut crab” into the Rolas Coral Rock Forest to see some of the infamous crabs for yourself. Elephant Lookout Perched on the top of a rocky hill the peace and beauty of the elephant lookout will take your breath away. This viewpoint is one of the very few places possible to view elephants during the day. Also, here you are likely to see antelopes, primates, warthogs and, if you’re lucky, some of the large cats. Leaving mid afternoon you can sit back, sip an ice-cool beer, soak in the beauty and watch the sun slowly disappear over the horizon. Mangrove Paddle Tour Paddle through the mystic mangrove forests South of Guludo are expansive mangrove forests with endless channels disappearing deep into the forest where birds, crabs and primates live in a peaceful, tidal wonderland. A local guide will pole you through the Guludo mangroves into the heart of the forest. With only the sound of rippling water, birds singing and the occasional monkey laughing, the tranquillity of the mangroves will calm even the most restless soul. Beach Archery at Guludo Beach Lodge Traditional archery on the Guludo beach. Learn how to use a traditional bow and arrow with expert tuition from an ex-hunter. Bush Walks - Quirimbas Archipelago Accompanied by a local guide, the walks start from Guludo, passing through an old coconut plantation, wetlands, forest, along an elephant highway through to a beautiful lily pond, home to a fantastic array of birds and monkeys. Sunset Dhow Sail Go for a sunset sail on our famous tradtional dhow, Mustajabo, made by hand in Guludo village.
