Shongili Island Lodge

Liked Bertus and Una the best host ever, very informative and help with all our money exchange, sims and took us around the town of bilene just to see what it’s all about. The island beautiful, beautiful. I come from the city and wanted to down wined. Even went on a tour of the island to the beach. This Family is absolutely amazing and love interacting with their Guest I’m a private person but never found them irritating or noisy never. I love them

Not spending enough time there. Next time it will be longer.

We like to experience beautiful places that have the special character and personality of true locals. This is the perfect place for adventurous types who love to find magic in the artistic expression and clever craftmanship of a place with owners who express their hospitality through these small details and how they care about their guests. I would especially recommend this for mountaineers, campers, outdoor enthusiasts, groups of friends with children who love to go to bed early and wake up with the sun and try something out of the ordinary - hop on a kayak, swim in the lake, find some seahorses, get your toes and your legs wet dangling your feet off a river boat, have a go at sea fishing, hike to see turtles, braai on the beach. The characterful rooms are set up like a very comfortable safari campsite - with comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. Spaces have variable groupings, depending on guests - some with an outdoor or indoor kitchen to suit the weather and socialise under the stars. The windows have very practical built-in Mozzie net frames, so they can stay open at night and the beds have mosquito nets for any escapees! Una and Bertus and their staff are the most wonderful hosts and their sweet dogs who also regularly checked that we were OK were an added bonus for the children. We were treated like family and this was a grounding, earthy, soulful holiday that will be in our hearts and memories forever.

La struttura si trova dall’altra parte della laguna, è un posto tranquillo dove ci siamo completamente rilassati prima di rientrare in Italia. Bertus e Una ci hanno accolti e ci hanno davvero fatto sentire in famiglia, prendendosi cura di noi in ogni momento. Anche i loro cani sono fantastici, abbiamo davvero apprezzato questa tappa in Mozambico più di tutte le altre!!!

Era tutto perfetto!

Loved the location. Rustic and homely and the host and hostess is amazing, warm and kind! We were able to buy fresh fish of the boat and cook immediately which was an added bonus. Visiting the nearby dunes and lakes beaches including flamingo Island was special. Water is warm and your location is private and safe. It's magnificent views are so special and enjoyable.

There is no food, groceries, toiletries available on the island so remember to pack that Once the resturant opens, will be easier to access food Also remember to get a local sim and load data before coming because there is no wifi
