Conservation and Community at the Core

At the heart of Colina Verde’s philosophy is a commitment to conservation and community upliftment. Guests can participate in the villa’s groundbreaking fish tagging program, where every catch is tagged and released as part of a scientific study. This project has already produced valuable insights into the migratory patterns of Giant Trevally between Mozambique and South Africa. Adventurous visitors can even contribute to apex predator tagging by funding acoustic tags and helping track these ocean giants through advanced receiver networks.

This kind of conservation-focused tourism not only benefits marine ecosystems but also provides a deeper, more meaningful travel experience. Supporting the community is just as important—Colina Verde helps provide healthcare access to nearby Machangulo village residents under the “We Are Together” initiative. Simply by staying at the villa, every guest contributes to these long-term social and environmental projects.
