AHEAD OF THE CURVE
It seems like a happy coincidence that the best time to visit Mozambique’s unexplored white-sand beaches is also peak safari season in Africa. Yet beach escapes matching the sharp edge of safari travel — those immersive, eco-luxe hideaways funding conservation across Africa — were few and far between before the recent opening of Kisawa Sanctuary. With just 12 bungalow “residences” set on the southern shores of Benguerra Island, the 300-hectare resort defines the ultimate luxury as not having to share your immersive experience in a wildly beautiful place with more than a handful of other guests. A property as visionary as this would have raised the stakes anywhere in the Indian Ocean — even the Maldives — so I’m curious why Nina Flohr, Kisawa’s founder and creative director, chose a destination as far from the fray as this drop in the ocean off the Mozambican coast.
