On a headland of the Mozambican coast, some 600 kilometres north of Maputo and 170 kilometres south of Vilanculos. The call has worked its way into itineraries sailing from South Africa in recent years.

Sea turtles pass through the area regularly and the reserve protects their nesting sites; dolphins sometimes escort the tenders between ship and shore. Nothing is guaranteed, but sightings are common.
