What you'll do

One of the most magical things to see in the wild is watching female turtles emerge from the water, skate across the sand and lay their eggs under the cover of darkness. Between November and February, Ponta do Ouro has some of the richest nesting sites for Loggerhead and Leatherback turtles in Mozambique. Visit the conservation project and gain insight into their program for monitoring, tagging and protecting these hard-shelled ocean creatures. On a walk across the coast's quietest beaches, learn to spot a turtle nest, the whys and hows of choosing a nesting place, and if you're really lucky, you may even witness the tiny newborns scooting their way back to the sea.
