Area Attractions
Blue Footprints welcomes you to Inhambane, Mozambique. The stretch of Indian Ocean, between the beaches of Barra and Tofo, has become a world renowned scuba diving haven. This area of Mozambique is fast becoming one of the most famous places in the world to visit for many reasons, but namely for the outstanding diversity of marine life.
It was here that Dr. Andrea Marshall discovered that there are two different species of Manta Ray, and it is here that Dr. Simon Pierce is conducting his research on the worlds largest aggregation of Whalesharks. Both these magnificent animals are on every marine enthusiasts wish list, and we have the honour of being able to offer the possibility of encounters with both. During our winter months, from the end of July until November we have the privilege of being located on the Humpback Whales migratory route. You can even watch their acrobatics and displays from our Blue Footprints Lodge.
This coastline is also home to two species of Dolphins, the much loved Bottlenose and the more elusive Humpback Dolphin.Unbelievably, this is the only place in the world where the legendary Smalleye Stingrays, which are the largest of all the sting rays, have been seen and photographed alive, a curious and friendly animal. We also have Leopard Sharks, White-tip and Grey reef sharks, and often Devil Rays and Ribbontails. The pelagic fish life is also spectacular with huge schools of Big-Eyed Jacks and Barracuda.
Our reefs are made up of a volcanic rock base and are covered in a variety of hard and soft corals. These not only provide a healthy splash of colour but are home to all the usual reef fish and our special small creatures. Rare and colourful Harlequin Shrimps. The incredibly powerful Peacock Mantis Shrimp. The transparent Periclemines Shrimp. There are also Frogfish, Paperfish, Octopus, Squid, and big fish and big eels, and small fish and small eels. Actually, all that we have is innumerable and indescribable and you?ll just have to come and see it all for yourself.!
If you would prefer not to scuba dive, we offer you our Ocean Safari. On this excursion we launch on the same boats that we use for scuba diving and we equip all our safariers with mask, snorkel and fins. The boat will have a Skipper and a Dive Master, both of which are very experienced in finding the big animals listed above. The minimum age is eight years old. We have no maximum age for this trip, but it can be quite adventurous and exciting.
