You can find the following amenities in Bilene. Petrol & Diesel Gas Station, 2 banks in Bilene: BIM and BCI.

A popular activity thoroughly enjoyed by visitors is Jet Skiing on the Lagoon. It's a great way to explore the entire lagoon right from the doorstep of the lodge you're staying at. Find your way out of the lagoon mouth and onto the ocean to discover un-spoilt beaches North and South with opportunistic sightings of whales, Sea Turtles, Zambezi Sharks, and dolphins.

For those who don't know what Parasailing is, it's when you glide through the air wearing an open parachute while being towed by a speedboat or rubber duck! Sounds like fun? It is!! It's an adrenalin-packed activity that's becoming very popular amongst the resorts and lodges in Bilene. Once again, the sheltered lagoon provides perfect conditions for parasailing.

Bilene's Lagoon allows for excellent Kite surfing conditions without too much fuss of wind direction. Inexperienced Kite surfers can arrange an experienced kite surfing instructor in Bilene to give you the lessons needed to getting started whilst on your holiday.

Witness a fascinating display of nature when Leather-Back and Loggerhead turtles visit our beaches to nest their eggs during the months between November and March. With a bit of luck and good timing, you can also see the newborn sea turtles hatch and scramble to shore where they will begin a life in the big blue sea.

About 1.5km from the Lagoon mouth on Bilene beach is a high viewpoint called Turtle Cliff, where you can climb and enjoy spectacular 360-degree views of the ocean and Bilene beach. This is a great advantage point to spot birdlife, dolphins, turtles, and whales that migrate up along Mozambique's coastline between the months of May and January.

  • For all those petrol and diesel guzzling 4x4's, there are petrol stations supplying both in Bilene, though if you are on a budget, it is advised to fill up your fuel tanks at the Komatipoort or Golela border in South Africa and Swaziland as the fuel prices in Mozambique is more expensive than in South Africa.
  • Enjoy a scenic drive through and around the edge of the entire Lagoon.
  • The surrounding area of Bilene is also scored with many dirt roads leading to and from different beaches, lagoons nearby, villages nearby, up to the Limpopo River Mouth of Xai Xai beach and beyond.
  • Fishing enthusiasts will be delighted to hear that Bilene gives anglers the option to not only go Deep Sea Fishing but to also exploit their fishing skills within the Lagoon and on a number freshwater lakes North and South of Bilene, including unspoiled lakes such as Lake Sauce, Lake Gire, Lake Chissura and Lake Pab.
  • A scenic 4x4 or Quad Bike drive is all that's needed to get to these lakes.
  • On the oceans side of Bilene, shallow reefs close to shore attract schools of Big Game Fish which ultimately gives the Deep sea fisherman plenty of action.
  • Every year, the Mozambican locals open up the Lagoons mouth which allows migrating fish to swim up and into the lagoon, creating yet another great fishing spot.
  • So make sure your rod and reel are the first items packed before you leave to go on your holiday!
