If you are seeing this it's because you have been invited to be part of a small group of people to participate in a hands-on experience helping rhinos in the wild with @URhinoProject. This opportunity is limited to only a few tourists each year on an invite-only basis, so it is a great privilege to be one of a very few people in the world who have been invited to participate in this important rhino conservation work. You can either join as a paid guest or if you have financial constraints you can apply for a travel sponsorship where your trip costs will either be fully/partially covered if you are willing to actively help fundraise or promote awareness about the rhino poaching issue in South Africa by encouraging your friends/family to join you on your trip. 


The @URhinoProject is an initiative of the Upmost Foundation which is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) Nonprofit with charity status serving wildlife and environmental conservation efforts.

"Awaken at your leisure and join us for a delicious breakfast of fresh fruits, cereal, yoghurt, cold meats and cheeses, freshly baked muffins and your choice of hot items cooked to order and served on the beach. After breakfast meet our marine guides and get set for an Ocean Safari adventure where you could get to swim with wild dolphins, view migrating humpback whales or snorkel over pristine coral reefs. Back on shore you can re-live those memories and experiences whilst enjoying a scrumptious light lunch at the beach bar overlooking the ocean. Spend the afternoon at your leisure or you may choose to explore the in-land dune forest trails, take a stroll on the beach, a dip in the ocean or simply relax on a lounger soaking up the sun and magical atmosphere. As the sun sets join us for a pre-dinner drink before settling in to enjoy an excellent meal prepared by our chef who takes advantage of the fresh seafood and produce from local communities to prepare world class cuisine with a Mozambican flair. After dinner retire around the campfire and enjoy the light pollution free African skies where the stars shine down on us at the end of a perfect day."

Available activities (included)

Turtle Nesting Walks (Seasonal)

From October to March each year we are privileged to witness the nesting of Loggerhead and Leatherback turtles. The emergence of the Hatchlings occurs from December to late March. Anvil Bay participates in the turtle monitoring program and guests can take a turtle tour to view turtles laying their eggs.

Whale Watching 

From July to November every year the Southern Hemisphere Humpback Whales make their annual migration along the Mozambican coastline on their way to and from their winter breeding grounds. Keep an eye out for the telltale blow as they surface to breathe, or perhaps you will be lucky enough to witness them breaching, lob tailing or pec rolling. The whales can be easily sighted direct from shore but if you would like to get a closer look then join us for an Ocean safari in season.

Ocean Safari & Whale Watching 

An exhilarating 2 hour leisure cruise along the coastline in search of marine animals big and small. Dolphins are frequent visitors, as are turtles and the occasional Whale shark & Manta Ray. Participants must be able to swim and children accompanied by parents. Life jackets are supplied. Conditions permitting.

Grab a board from the activity center and head down to the shoreline to catch some waves. Speak to the activity team about the safest place along the beach to get on the water. Conditions permitting.

Stand Up Paddle boarding

These big surfboard style craft are designed to be paddled standing up but can be just as much fun when used in a kneeling position. Conditions permitting.
