📍 About the location
Inhaca Island is situated about 40 km away from Maputo Capital City, being separated from it by the Indian Ocean. With calm, warm and blue waters. Few steps on the right there is another small island called 'Ilha dos Portugueses'. The volunteers will have the opportunity to live in a very diverse ecosystem and also to get to see one of the most protected species, the aquatic turtles. It can take half hour in a boat ride. The main economic activity is fishing.
--- Leisure Activities : Weekends are meant to be for free tours that the group can organize by itself. You can decide to visit places of interest around the area of the work camp. It has now become a custom in all our Workcamps to have cultural nights. This affords each volunteer the opportunity to present her/his country and culture. Please bring with you your national flag and traditional dress if possible. Sports and artistic moments will be organized together by the participants and local community. In some cases the workcamp may run during special event (festival, fairs, workshops and others) occurring close to the area where the camp will be running.
