Swim with wild dolphins in Ponta do Ouro, southern Mozambique, home to a resident pod of about 250 Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins studied and protected since 1995. Unusually for the region, in-water encounters are permitted under strict ethical guidelines, so small guided groups snorkel alongside the dolphins on the animals' own terms. Warm Indian Ocean water makes it a rewarding, low-key dolphin swim, best from May to July.
