nature excursions
Moyo is a haven for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The hilly island’s forests are filled with a variety of animal life, from deer and macaque monkeys to wild boar. Sea eagles, kite and osprey claim the island shores.
A variety of walking trails radiate out from the camp. Guides for trekking are available.
The waterfall excursion is a memorable, half-day tour that begins with a speedboat run north followed by a walk through a village to a waiting Landcruiser. The road eventually melts into a jungle path covered in leaves and vines before revealing a series of waterfalls that cascade into terraced, limestone pools.
amanwana ridge
This track starts from the helicopter pad above the camp’s boardwalk, and follows the ridgeline above the camp. The ridge walk offers picturesque views and the possibility of observing Moyo’s animal and bird species.
crocodile head
Following the road uphill to the ridgeline, the track leads down to the headland. Crocodile Head presents a panoramic view of the Flores Sea and shell collectors will enjoy the adjacent coral beach. It is an ideal venue for sunset cocktails.
brang sedo
Starting from the helicopter pad above the camp’s boardwalk, the 2km walk finishes on the beach just beyond the small fishing village of Brang Sedo. A variety of beautiful trees, native teak, tamarind, fig, coral and banyan are plentiful, both in the forest and along the beach. The children in the village make this experience and love to be photographed.
bat cave trek
Only available when accompanied by a guide, this trek is a continuation of the Brang Sedo path and is quite a physically demanding trek. The cave is inhabited by seven species of bat. Monitor lizards and, occasionally, pythons may be sighted in the cave. There is a good opportunity to observe a variety of bird life and wildlife during the trek.
