Ibo is the most established island with a rich history and can be visited from Matemo. From a major trading post for slaves and ivory, Ibo became a significant Portuguese town in the region and the remains of three forts, a cathedral and numerous palatial homes make for interesting sightseeing.

The waters off the coast are home to coral reefs, sea turtles, colourful tropical fish, dolphin, whales and the rare dugong.

This package offers a combiantion of two idyllic lodges on two seperate islands from where you can explore this tropical paradise, both distinctly situated on remote islands and on the beach offering activities that complements a tropical island getaway.
