When we first found Ibo Island we knew that we had to share this incredibly special discovery, so we built a lodge and planted our roots. Our lodge management team, guides, ground staff, housekeepers and sales and reservations team are some of the best in our industry, and we are all committed to the on-going positive growth and development of Ibo Island Lodge. Our reservations office is in Cape Town. 

Our ground operations are based in Pemba and our lodge is set on Ibo Island in the pristine Quirimbas Archipelago of northern Mozambique. If you have any questions about our website or our products, please don't hesitate to contact us. 

 In many ways the profile of the company and that of its founders are one and the same story. Since 1993, when they first lost their hearts to Mozambique, Kevin and Fiona Record have invested their all into realizing their dream of establishing a truly sustainable lodge on Ibo Island as well as launching a series of brands specialising in tour operating in Mozambique. That they have achieved their first objective on Ibo Island is evidenced by the positive impact that the lodge has made to a large portion of Ibo islands population, while maintaining a respectful relationship with its ecology and heritage. Ibo Island Lodge, the lodge they had dreamt of for all these years, has been a labour of love. 

Not only by the founders, but by the local people of Ibo. 'When we first embarked on the rehabilitation project on Ibo we know that many people thought we had bitten off way more than we could chew! The ruins we bought whilst magnificent in potential were literally swaying in the wind… Roofs open to the sky, great chunks of coral walls collapsing around us and rampant fig tree's growing through the windows and deep into the foundations… We've re-laid those foundations, preserved original tiles, shutters, panelled doors and antique pieces we found on Ibo. We dismantled ancient ruined pillars to rebuild them again. We've cast new roofs by hand, worked with traditional lime -purchased and handmade from the islanders and employed and imparted new skills to over 140 people all from Ibo. 

We planted grass, flowers and over 200 trees. We have a huge responsibility on Ibo to show the local community the power that sustainable eco-tourism can have on their island, on their lives and on the lives of their children. We were not just building a lodge, we were constructing hopes and dreams for a future. Ibo Island Lodge has been a labour of love, developed with courage, passion and vision by all involved. We hope we have created a lodge as beautiful as the island itself and look forward to welcoming you to magical Ibo Island.
