**Day 6:** Today, we embark on an exciting journey to the stunning Inhaca Island, a gem just off the picturesque coastline of Mozambique. This enchanting island is nestled between the protected marine areas that line its western and eastern shores, creating a tranquil haven for biodiversity. While the coastal landscapes are breathtaking, most of the island’s inhabitants live within its interior, where a vibrant community thrives.  Spanning an impressive 52 km² (20 sq mi), Inhaca Island serves as a natural barrier, separating the serene waters of Maputo Bay (Baía de Maputo) from the expansive Indian Ocean that meets its eastern edges. The island's rich history whispers tales from centuries past; it is thought that the famed explorer Vasco da Gama caught sight of this beautiful land in 1497 or 1498 during his voyages. In the 1500s, Inhaca was transformed into a bustling trading post, primarily facilitating the lucrative ivory trade that attracted merchants from afar.  After immersing ourselves in the island's captivating atmosphere, we will indulge in a delightful seafood lunch, savouring the fresh flavours that the Indian Ocean has to offer. As the afternoon approaches, we will board a boat to return to Maputo, our hearts filled with memories of the island’s beauty and history. 

**Day 7:** You'll depart from Johannesburg via flight as you journey back to your home country. Ensuring that all necessary information is communicated and discussed well in advance is essential to guarantee a smooth transition. Take this time to reflect on your travels and cherish the memories created during your stay.
