Gallery: Dhow great thou art

The Quirimbas tropical archipelago consists of a necklace of 27 beautiful coral islands and atolls that adorn the neck of Mozambique’s northern coast adjoining Tanzania. Depending on the trade winds, which on the east coast of Africa change direction twice a year, dhow safaris operate from Ibo Island northwards, or from the more southern and beautiful Arimba region south of Ibo back towards the island.
