I would like to know how deep do we dive on those dive trips? I can dive down to 40 meters, but my travel insurance covers me up to 30 meters. I do not want to go below 30 meters to make sure I am still cover by my travel insurance.

2 Mile reef in Bazaruto dives are not deeper then 20 metres. Tofo they can dive 25-30 metres.

Im interessted in this trip. But i like to stay in a single room as i m alone. And i would like to skip the last night/day in Maputo. So only 6D/5N... possible?

As I can see on the booking now page, the single room is unavailable for this tour. However, I can check with the tour operator for you if they offer shared rooms for a single traveller or not. Are you happy with the shared room with others? You can leave the tour early on the last day, but I want to let you know that the last day you're not attending will not be refunded to you because the price is already set for the tour.

I am a first time solo female looking for Affordable and safe diving and land tours. I am only available from the end of may to the beginning of august. I am an advanced diver but not a confident diver. Do you have such trips offered? Africa looks amazing!

We do recommend our 7 days divers program which is suitable for you. You will have a guide throughout to help you out incase of any emergency.

The safari at Kruger was excellent. Great views of zebras, giraffes, a pride of lions, tons of wildebeest, impalas warthog, even rhinos! Dinners were solid and accommodations comfortable! A great experience - highly recommended!!

I had the privilege of having Shawn as my tour guide, and he truly made my experience unforgettable. Even though I was the only one on the tour, Shawn’s passion for his job and his deep knowledge of history and culture made it feel like a private, personalized adventure. He went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable time, offering insightful commentary, answering all my questions, and sharing fascinating stories that brought the destination to life. Shawn's professionalism and enthusiasm were evident from the start, and his dedication to his work shone through in every aspect of the tour. It’s clear that he loves what he does, and that energy made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He made my trip not just memorable, but unforgettable. I highly recommend Shawn for anyone looking to experience an authentic and enriching tour. You won’t be disappointed!
