The hotel is situated on a clean and safe, sandy beach that offers unlimited opportunities for swimming, water sports and walks. We have a volleyball field and football goals available.  However, Catembe is also an opportunity to discover a world of fascinating contrasts and natural beauty to the rhythm of the authentic village lifestyle. Attractions will include hiking trails, birding trails. We pack picnic baskets for your excursions or boating trips. And when you return, our cooks will be glad to prepare for you the fish you have caught, while you watch with a sundowner from the pool bar.

On request, we can arrange boating trips for game fishing, diving or snorkeling or a picnic on a deserted beach on Inhaca and Portuguese islands. The marine life and corals surrounding these islands are among the richest and most pristine in the world. Catembe is also the perfect base from which to explore the near-by Maputo Elephant Reserve that is famed for its bird life and elephants, and nominated as a potential Natural World Heritage Site. Catembe Gallery Hotel commits itself to help protect this amazing natural heritage by tailoring excursions to meet the strictest environmental and ecological standards. For those who wish to travel further afield for a safari, Catembe Gallery Hotel is a gateway to the renown game and nature reserves of Swaziland and KwaZulu Natal (South Africa), including the future Maputaland Transfrontier Conservation area.
