Lioness Launch / Picnic lovers in Mozambique are in for a treat as Azura launches its specialist picnic hamper sales and rental service

February 13, 2022 Melanie Hawken

Yolanda Matine and Sheila Loonat

For all those people who love nothing more than getting outdoors into the fresh air with family, friends, and colleagues, then a picnic is the way to go, and in Mozambique, entrepreneurs Yolanda Matine and Sheila Loonat, cofounders of Azura, have just what you need. Their business specializes in selling and renting picnic hampers with the objective of offering unforgettable experiences for all occasions.


Azura offers its customers two specialist picnic service offerings:

Picnic Hampers for Rental

Always packed with delicious and delightful things, the Azura picnic hamper is sure to bring cheer to whoever lifts the lid. It comes in two sizes: The Tulip Hamper is suitable to host up to 3 people, and The Sunflower Hamper is suitable to host up to 5 people. Both hampers are complemented with a Picnic rug, Non- alcoholic Drinks, Alcoholic drink* and Flowers.

Picnic Hampers for Sale

These hampers feature glassware, plates, crockery, and cotton napkins which are neatly fastened. These hampers can be purchased to be used anytime or to be gifted to special people for special occasions. Hampers are available in sizes suitable for 2, 4 , 5 and 6 people.

Azura co-founders Yolanda and Sheila believe that what makes their product and service offering different is that their customers do not have to waste any time preparing and organizing a picnic, since going a picnic is all about the luxury of time. Their aspirations for the business are for Azura to become the Number 1 choice as an outdoor activities specialist supplier, for both outdoor and indoor ways of celebration, while allowing customers to consistently protect the environment.

For those interested to find out more and to arrange their own perfect hampers in 3 easy steps so as not to waste a single second of summer and the good weather, should contact the team at Azura for assistance and advice:
