Mozambique Sports Adventure
This 4 week experience of a lifetime is perfectly suited to sports enthusiasts looking to take part in something different during their gap year. Learn to scuba dive in the turquoise waters of a world heritage site; canoe down un-chartered waters off the Guvuru river; and travel like true adventurers on a dhow boat expedition.
Adventure Programme ItineraryWeek 1: PADI Open Water Scuba Course: After settling into your new home near the shores of the Indian Ocean, you will begin your PADI Open Water Course. The warm opaque waters will provide the perfect base for you to learn to scuba dive, before embarking on your open water dives on the “2 mile reef” of the Bazaruto Archipelago.
Week 2: River Canoe Expedition: This week is spent on a navigational challenge, as you negotiate your way down Mozambique's Rio Guvuru in your canoes. You pass through a dramatic variety of terrains including deserts, lush bush and mangrove swamps. With task-orientated activities each day, you can learn as much or as little as you want from our fully qualified local guides.
Week 3: Dhow Boat Expedition: This is one of the most popular and exciting parts of the entire expedition. Using a traditional African Dhow boat, you sail around the pristine white islands of the archipelago, with the opportunity to snorkel and scuba dive amongst the different reefs, spotting hundreds of varieties of tropical fish, dolphins and hopefully the dugong.
Week 4: Football Coaching Community Week: The final week is spent working specifically with the local football teams. You'll organise training sessions and short games, before holding a tournament. Prizes will be awarded to the best teams and players, giving an extra incentive for the children to play as hard as possible!
