DRINKS & DINING
|
|
In Portuguese times, dining on prawns at Marisol was a must around Lourenço
Marques. We are proud to continue this long-standing tradition: today,
you can dine on the freshest seafood delicacies and Indian Ocean cuisine. For
Sunday brunch, our chef will also tempt you with the best traditional
Mozambican dishes.
The bar was designed and decorated by an inspired young African artist,
who chose to design a surreal landscape. The end effect is a perfect
antidote to the stress of city life and invitation to let your thoughts
float away on an exotic journey along the shores of East Africa. Why not
sample the famous 'Catembe' punch that
originated here? And check out the regular live music performances!
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. Or, why not prepare it yourself at our outdoor
braai while you enjoy a sundowner from the
pool bar.

ACTIVITIES
|
|
Most of our guests enjoy the opportunity to relax by the
pool or stroll on the beach. 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 include hiking
trails, birding trails and quad bike trails with local guides.
We will be happy to 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 most pristine in the world.
Catembe is the perfect
base from which to explore the near-by Maputo Elephant Reserve that is
famed for its bird life and elephants slated as a potential Natural
World Heritage Site. Catembe Gallery
Hotel commits itself to help protect this amazing natural
heritage and will tailor its excursions to meet the strictest
environmental and ecological standards.
For those who travel further afield, Catembe Gallery
Hotel is a gateway to the reknown
game and nature reserves of Swaziland and KwaZulu
Natal (South Africa), including the future Maputaland
transfrontier conservation area.
Trips to the Elephant Reserve
The
Maputo Special Reserve is one of the most beautiful and yet poorly
known conservation areas in Southern Africa . The large variety of habitats includes mangrove
forest, tidal wetlands, large treeless grass plains and dense sandforest. This mosaic of biomes supports an
impressive diversity of plants, bird species, elephants, hippos,
crocodiles and antelopes etc. More than 200 elephants were recorded in
2002; on our trips we use local guides and rangers who have high
sighting rates. We leave with a luxury game viewer vehicle from Catembe Gallery Hotel at 6.00 for a day of
ecotourism and beach activities. The daytrip includes breakfast,
lunch on the beach, entrance fees, guide and petrol and is USD 85 pp.
Accommodation in luxury room included is USD 130 pp.
Nesting
of the Turtles
During
season from November to January, the loggerhead and leatherback turtles
return from the ocean to the beach in the Elephant Reserve to lay about
150 eggs. We leave around 16.30 – return midnight (stay at Catembe Gallery Hotel). As this is a night
activity, previous booking and minimum number of people are required.
