Sundowner helped us plan a quiet, off-the-beaten-track escape to Mozambique and it was just right. From wild beaches to dhow trips, everything was well thought out. We wouldn’t have known where to start without them.

We’ve just come back from Mozambique and it was everything we hoped for and more. Lucy took time to really understand what we wanted, and the mix of coast and island stays was spot on. The whole trip felt effortless.

Louise Doyle, Mozambique

Our trip to Zambia & Mozambique was beautifully planned from start to finish. The lodges were small and full of character, and everything ran like clockwork without ever feeling over-organised. We felt very looked after.

David Pockett, Zambia & Mozambique

We had an amazing family holiday in South Africa and Mozambique thanks to the team at Sundowner. Each stop felt different and special, and the whole trip came together beautifully. We’ll be booking again.

This was our first trip with Sundowner and we were really impressed. Mozambique isn’t the easiest place to plan independently, but everything ran smoothly and we loved the laid-back rhythm of the whole trip.
