As the African winter descends upon the Mozambique coast, nature's grand spectacle unfolds with the arrival of the annual whale migration. From June to November, the warm and sunny weather sets the stage for an unforgettable whale-watching experience in this enchanting region.
Join us on a journey through the waters of Mozambique as we delve into the mesmerizing world of these majestic ocean giants. Every year, pods of Humpback and Southern Right whales embark on an epic journey from their icy feeding grounds in Antarctica to the tropical waters of the South East African coast.Covering a staggering distance of over 30,000 kilometers, this migration is one of the longest in the world, showcasing the resilience and beauty of these magnificent creatures.
Arriving in Mozambique's Indian Ocean, the whales find a safe haven to nurture their calves away from the prying eyes of their natural predators, the Orcas. The highlight of the whale migration along the Mozambique coast is undoubtedly the acrobatic displays of the Humpback whales.
From Ponta Mamoli and Ponta do Ouro in the south to Vilanculos, the Bazaruto islands, and the Tofo and Barra Peninsulas, these baleen whales captivate onlookers with their breathtaking breaching and playful antics. Witnessing these gentle giants as they soar through the air and crash back into the sea is a truly awe-inspiring sight that leaves a lasting impression on all who are fortunate enough to experience it.
Join us during whale-watching season in Mozambique, from June to December, and immerse yourself in the magic of these incredible marine mammals as they journey to warmer waters.
