Dhow boat, Ibo island One of the last few islands in the Quirimbas archipelago to be inhabited, Ibo island is a true melting pot of influences. The strategic location of Ibo island has long made it a desirable hub of trade and seafaring. Arab sailors arrived many centuries ago and passed on their trading and craft traditions to the islanders. The Portuguese influence was to make the island more suitable for sustaining agriculture by harnessing rainwater for irrigation and livestock. Some of the crumbling 17th century buildings on the island are a legacy of the Portuguese. The jewellery making tradition on Ibo island is believed to have been introduced by Arab traders, and today the craft is still going strong, and the jewellery makes a wonderful souvenir. This is an island where historic events are celebrated each June at the Kueto Siriwala Festival (say cue-to sea-ree-wala) which means “don’t forget your roots.” The festival commemorates Ibo island’s inauguration as a trading post and locals dance, sing, race their dhows and eat plenty of seafood in celebration.

How does TravelLocal work?

Why should I use TravelLocal?

WHEN TO GO

Temperatures in Mozambique are toasty year round. Tourism all but comes to a halt during the wet season, which stretches from December to May. The dry season from June to October has more comfortable daily highs of around 25°C and lows of around 15°C. Most will wish to explore Mozambique during this period, but those whose visit is confined to the wet season can gamble on the south, where there is a good chance of clement weather.
