Macachula Beach Camp is an ideal getaway for self-catering, camping, 4x4 and fishing enthusiasts who enjoy adventure, the outdoors and the sea. We are situated on four hectares of a secluded portion of the northern bank of the Pomene Lagoon, 55 km from Massinga. The sea and endless white beaches are 200 m from the camp, directly across the lagoon. The mangrove swamps are easily accessible by boat and can be navigated up to 5 km inland at high tide. The lodge consists of self catering Chalets with en-suite bedrooms and kitchen / lounge entertainment areas. Mosquito nets, linen and towels are provided.

A camping baracca with solar powered lights and sockets is within 10m of the sea.The camp has a permanent security guard and is fully serviced. Martin, the camp manager, is also based at the camp and will arrange freshly baked Portuguese rolls, fresh vegetables, firewood, and fresh seafood upon request at a reasonable additional charge. Campers must be fully self-sufficient and have access to the ablution block. Water is pumped from the nearby mangrove river and is generally drinkable, especially if used for tea and coffee and cooking. Guests, however, may prefer to bring their own drinking water.The last 5 km of the sand road from Massinga is sandy in parts, especially in dry weather and you will require a 4 X4 to access the lodge. However, this is all part of the adventure and the view of the lagoon and sea from the top of the hill when you arrive is well worth it.
