Manico Camp is a self-catering camp on Inhaca Island, off the coast of Maputo in southern Mozambique. Manico Camp offers a mix of brick and bush cabins around a shared kitchen, restaurant and bar, aimed at travellers reaching the island by ferry or private boat for a relaxed, activity-based stay.
Best for
Manico Camp suits groups and families who want a self-catering island base with communal facilities, a bar and restaurant, and organised outdoor activities.
It suits less well travellers wanting private en-suite bathrooms or a fully catered stay, since bathroom facilities at the camp are communal and cooking is self-catering.
Location
Manico Camp is on Inhaca Island, roughly 30 km from Maputo by ferry or private boat. In a straight line it is about 1.7 km north-east of our Inhaca village reference point.
Rooms and style at Manico Camp
The camp has 19 units in total: 7 brick cabins, 7 bush cabins, 2 family bush cabins and 3 deluxe bush cabins, all self-catering with access to the shared kitchen and communal bathrooms.
Facilities at Manico Camp
Verified facilities include a fully equipped self-catering kitchen with appliances and utensils, a restaurant, a bar with a seating area, a fire pit, a splash pool, a braai area, and communal bathrooms with toilets, showers and basins.
Trade-offs and what to know
Bathrooms at Manico Camp are shared rather than en-suite, and cooking is self-catering, which will not suit every traveller.
The official site does not state cabin dimensions or bedding counts, so it is worth checking these before booking a specific cabin type.
Getting there and getting around
Manico Camp is reached from Maputo by ferry or private boat to Inhaca Island; the camp offers transport to and from the island’s town for guests without their own arrangements, and organises kayaking, snorkelling and lighthouse tours locally.
