Visit one of Mozambique's luxurious coastal or island resorts for a great add-on to a safari in Southern Africa.
The Land of Smiles
Despite its recent political troubles and instability and the ravages of floods, the country has persevered and Mozambique's picturesque beaches and pristine reefs are some of the most lovely in all of Africa. The Bazaruto Archipelago, Maputo, Pemba and Inhaca, are places that make Mozambique a holiday destination worthy of discovery.
Mozambique's islands are tropical jewels, it's 2500-km, palm-fringed coastline is nothing short of spectacular, and the seafood, especially the Portuguese prawns, are world-renowned. Come experience the slendour of today's Mozambique! Leave a Comment

when ?
i've forgotten, but who flew,
it was Jose, a friend who later moved to France, then suddenly passed away - RIP - mon ami !
It was Jose who piloted a single engined Cessna or ???
we flew over Lourenco Marques, across the bay over Inhaca Island,
then the thrill to see the hundreds of elephants moving slowly between the huge trees of typically African environment.
where are the elephants now, the victims of hunters in both peace and wartimes have reduced their numbers to about 180 in 1998 according to The Deibi project, a co-operation between Groningen University in Holland and Eduardo Mondlane University in Mozambique, started in 1991. Leave a Comment

 conserve if you see one ! ! ! by kenHuocj
Latimeria chalumnae the living fossil a.k.a. the COELOCANTH first appeared in the fossil record about 360 million years ago, was thought to have become extinct about eighty million years ago.
Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer, a curator at the East London Museum, could not identify the fish. She sent a sketch to J. L. B. Smith at Rhodes University in South Africa who identified the fish as a coelacanth.
"The discovery of a population of coelacanths off Sodwana Bay is a stunning reminder of how exciting science is and of how little we know about our own backyard when it comes to the marine environment along our coast. The episode is another fine example of the interdependence of science and the interested public - and that the public will only be interested if they are properly informed in the first place," says Dr Paul Skelton, Director of the JLBSI. According to Skelton, the discovery has a special significance for the JLBSI in the light of their expertise, the linkages and their obligation to enhancing marine conservation through a well-planned research effort on the coelacanths at Sodwana. "We are excited and looking forward to further discoveries about the African coelacanths," he says. Leave a Comment

CAHORA BASSA ( is apparently derived from the Chewa term 'Kebrabassa' ), which means 'the end of work'.
If you enlarge map below, the Man made dam wall is @ SONGA
http://www.radiobridge.org/moz/corba.jpg gives one an inetresting EOSAT jpeg image where the red area outlining the lake is dense vegetation growing along the shore.
The west end of the lake is deeper and carries less sediment than the eastern end, therefore the west end is darker blue. Leave a Comment

 Spaza shop by cleocat
I saw a few of these shops next to the road.
Here you can buy anything from a colourful bucket to bananas. In SA there are many of these Spaza shops. Mainly in the township areas for those who find it difficult to get into the city. Leave a Comment
