Overview
About Naara Eco Lodge & Spa
Naara sits beside Lake Nhambavale at Chidenguele, with safari tents among coastal vegetation behind the Indian Ocean dunes. The tents have lake-facing balconies, mosquito nets and outdoor showers in private garden spaces. Breakfast is included with the standard tent stay, and guests can use canoes and stand-up paddleboards on the lagoon without an extra charge. Shared swimming pools and a spa offer quieter ways to spend the day. Horse rides, guided community visits and boat trips add variety, while the kitchen combines Mozambican and international dishes.
“A good fit for travellers who want an active lakeside break without giving up a comfortable tent, a private balcony and time by the pool.”
