3 Sense of Oceans… Who we are

For over three decades, Tourvest Destination Management has prided itself in offering only the highest quality, most memorable and professional tour services to both local and international travellers. With our aim to grow our already expansive African footprint, we have joined hands with Mozambique Voyages to form Sense of Oceans – a division that will take both organisations into a new phase of exploring travel possibilities throughout the Indian Ocean, starting with Mozambique.

Sense of Oceans combines the expertise of two successful organisations. Mozambique Voyages specialises in both self-drive and tailor-made holidays in Mozambique and are known for providing travellers with an unprecedented level of access and specialisation to ensure truly unforgettable travel experiences. On the other hand, Tourvest Destination Management’s heritage and reputation as one of the best destination management companies in Africa is proven by our inbound business unit being the largest ground handler of foreign tourists to Africa. Our network includes offices in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Uganda, creating a sustainable competitive advantage for our global network of travel partners.

Combining years of experience and insight, Sense of Oceans is now the most experienced, on- the-ground tour operator specialising in Mozambique, with an impressive offering across southern Africa.

Since Mozambique has so much to offer and the opportunities to explore are endless, an experienced partner like Sense of Oceans is invaluable. The country lends itself to self-drive trips, which is perfect for the more budget-conscious traveller, but can also be tailored for those who prefer to travel in luxury.

4 5 About Us “Bem Vinda!” A warm Portuguese “Welcome!”

Our Home

Mozambique is a country of contrasts, offering complete peace and serenity as well as the hustle and bustle of an energetic local community. From the tranquillity of its stunning azure waters and untouched white beaches to buzzing fish markets and jovial locals, a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience is guaranteed.

Perhaps the most exciting travel destination on the African continent at the moment, Mozambique offers travellers a wealth of experiences to enjoy. They can delight in discovering abundant and colourful coral reefs or get up close and personal with majestic whale sharks while scuba diving. For shore-based visitors, the growing national parks and the idyllic tropical islands are great for exploring.

The diverse cultural experience in Mozambique is also very unique. The Arab and Portuguese influences in its history can still be seen and experienced today, especially in its historic architecture, mouth-watering dishes and fresh seafood prepared by highly talented chefs.

Considered as the last undiscovered pearl of the Indian Ocean, the country combines a wealth of sights, sounds, tastes and experiences that delight all the senses. Although there have always been spectacular beaches to explore along the Indian Ocean, the coast has seen an increase in new and intriguing eco-friendly properties being developed over the past few years, catering for a more upscale international market.

With such a wide range of options on offer, Mozambique is the ideal destination for honeymooners, families, scuba divers as well as self-drive enthusiasts and can also easily be combined with other African itineraries. There is no shortage of accommodation, ranging from Self-catering, Catered, Guest Houses to Bed & Breakfasts, 3, 4 and 5 star hotels, Lodges and Resorts. There’s simply no reason not to visit!

56 57 Sense of Oceans - Coming Soon

2019 sees the launch of Tourvest Destination Management, Sense of Oceans division, providing a full-service solution including accommodation, activities and transport. Mozambique The first of our Indian Ocean destinations, chosen for its warm authentic hospitality, tropical islands and idyllic beaches, extraordinary dive sites, delicious food, vibrant music, and exciting cultural immersions.

Over the course of 2020 and 2021 we’ll be expanding our oceanic footprint to include Madagascar and Réunion Island.

Madagascar Although it’s the fourth largest island in the world, Madagascar remains untouched and largely underdeveloped, and is a great year-round destination.

The eastern side of the island is characterised by tropical rainforest kingdoms (home to the legendary lemur – native only to Madagascar). Its western side is a desert-type landscape, ranging from deciduous forests and salt and sand-filled flats, to sandstone canyons and mountains.

Blinding white beaches, turquoise waters and unspoilt reefs complete this heavenly destination.

Réunion Island Réunion Island in the Mascarene Archipelago is an exciting melting pot of European, African and Asian culture. The island is easy to navigate and despite being only 50km wide, there’s plenty to discover.

There are so many different facets to this island, with its green mountain slopes, white coastal beaches, black sanded volcanic slopes, and not to forget the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Reunion National Park.

Watch this space! We look forward to making the Indian Ocean more accessible to you and your clients, taking care of every detail along the way.
