    Drinks and Dining

    In Portuguese times, dining on prawns at Marisol was a must around Lourenço Marques. We are proud to continue this long-standing tradition: today, you can dine on the freshest seafood delicacies and Indian Ocean cuisine. For Sunday brunch, our chef will also tempt you with the best traditional Mozambican dishes.

    The bar was designed and decorated by an inspired young African artist, who chose to design a surreal landscape. The end effect is a perfect antidote to the stress of city life and invitation to let your thoughts float away on an exotic journey along the shores of East Africa. Why not sample the famous 'Catembe' punch that originated here? And check out the regular live music performances!

    We pack picnic baskets for your excursions or boating trips. And when you return, our cooks will be glad to prepare for you the fish you have caught, while you watch. Or, why not prepare it yourself at our outdoor braai while you enjoy a sundowner from the pool bar.






    Activities

    Most of our guests enjoy the opportunity to relax by the pool or stroll on the beach. However, Catembe is also an opportunity to discover a world of fascinating contrasts and natural beauty to the rhythm of the authentic village lifestyle. Attractions include hiking trails, birding trails and quad bike trails with local guides.

    We will be happy to arrange boating trips for game fishing, diving or snorkeling or a picnic on a deserted beach on Inhaca and Portuguese islands. The marine life and corals surrounding these islands are among the most pristine in the world.

    Catembe is the perfect base from which to explore the near-by Maputo Elephant Reserve that is famed for its bird life and elephants slated as a potential Natural World Heritage Site. Catembe Gallery Hotel commits itself to help protect this amazing natural heritage and will tailor its excursions to meet the strictest environmental and ecological standards.

    For those who travel further afield, Catembe Gallery Hotel is a gateway to the reknown game and nature reserves of Swaziland and KwaZulu Natal (South Africa), including the future Maputaland transfrontier conservation area.
