Mozambique has to be considered as one of the world's best tropical holiday destinations with its miles of untouched, naturally beautiful coastlines. Mozambique is a developing country and while things might take a while to get done there, they are generally worth the wait. Mozambicans are open and friendly and proud of their country – be respectful, adopt a laid-back attitude and you are guaranteed to have a holiday to remember.
Xai Xai (pronounced' Shai Shai') is a large town in the south of Mozambique, situated on the Limpopo River, 220 kilometres north of the capital, Maputo. Xai Xai is the capital of the Gaza Province. English is spoken in Mozambique, but the official language in Mozambique is Portuguese. Portuguese and Shangaan are the languages spoken in the Gaza Province.

Activities at Reef Resort
Besides walks on beautiful, deserted, undeveloped, long stretches of white beaches (and the warm ocean to dip into when the sand beneath your feet becomes too hot), Mozambique also offers the following attractions and activities:
- Relaxing at the beach
- Safe areas for swimming - there are a few nearby beaches to choose from
- Deep sea fishing - charters available on 'African Dawn' - offered by Reef Resort
- Shore fishing
- Snorkelling along the protective reef (we have a limited amount of snorkelling gear for hire)
- Wenela Tidal Pool and Blowhole
- An outing to the local market is a must and this is also where you will be able to replenish your fruit and vegetable supplies
- Perfect photographic panoramas from any angle
- Dolphin and whale watching to be viewed from the comfort of your own balcony. Whale watching is only available during the winter months.
- A magnificent sunset to be observed, anywhere really, but the dunes are recommended for a relaxing sundowner with a local 2M or Laurentina beer to reflect at the end of a fun, sun filled day!
- Deep sea diving and ocean 'safaris' - sightseeing tours (offered by an independent company, based in Praia de Xai Xai)
- Bird watching
