Info
Wellness:
Focused on achieving wellbeing through unity of mind, body and spirit, the Kisawa Natural Wellness Center hosts a range of experiences from massages and scrubs, to yogic rituals and meditation. Treatments are practised by specialists in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurvedic healing, rooted in the natural elements of Air, Fire, Water, Space and Earth.
Culinary:
Throughout all culinary destinations at Kisawa, the ethos remains the same: to bring the best of Africa and Mozambique, in a fresh and modern way. Kisawa has built a network of farmers and fishermen supplying natural, local produce from within 300km of the sanctuary. As much as possible is grown in house and made within the Kisawa Kitchen. From jams and pickles, to charcuterie and cheese, Kisawa is proud to express local flavours.
Leisure:
Discover a vast range of personalised experiences, each tailored to individual guest needs. From dune sunsets and sailing on the Kisawa Dhow, to cast away lunch or Glamping on the Kisawa beach. Kisawa honours its Mozambican cultural heritage and is proud to share the beauty of Benguerra Island in varied and dynamic ways.
Water Sports:
To experience Kisawa is to experience its natural environment. Immerse into the crystal clear waters of Mozambique to enjoy some of the best, least explored subtropical waters in the Indian Ocean.
Children:
Families are welcome at Kisawa and a range of children’s activities can be arranged to suit individual guest needs. From mini camping and rock fishing, to an afternoon of arts and crafts, the Kisawa team is excited to inspire the next generation.
