Swimming in the Ocean
We would like to remind all visitors planning to swim in the beautiful waters of Mozambique.
While the allure of Mozambique’s pristine beaches may be enticing, you must exercise extreme caution when venturing into the ocean.
We regret to inform you that many beaches in Mozambique lack warning signs and lifeguards, which significantly increases the risks of swimming.
One of the most significant dangers is the presence of rip tides.
These powerful currents can swiftly pull even the strongest swimmers out to sea, posing a grave threat to your safety.
Without proper signage or lifeguards to guide you, stay vigilant and heed natural warnings, such as sudden changes in water color or unusually strong currents.
Given these hazards, we strongly advise all visitors to exercise caution and refrain from swimming alone. Always inform someone on the land of your plans,
and never underestimate the ocean’s power.

FIRE HAZARD
A. This is a wooden home, and as such, we draw your attention to the potential fire hazard. Please familiarise yourself with the surroundings and the location of the fire extinguishers.
B. Please do not use any flammables.
C. SMOKING
Smoking is forbidden inside any of the rooms, including the central living area
D. Due to the extreme fire risk, no fires are to be made anywhere apart from the braai area.

FURNITURE AND KITCHEN COUNTERS
Please leave the furniture where you find it – moving it damages the floor.
Please use chopping boards on the kitchen countertops.

TRASH
Store trash/garbage in the bins provided.
Do not dispose of cooking oil and grease down the kitchen drains.

GUTTING/CLEANING OF FISH
