If you want to eat some good crawfishes, find a fisherman who can sell you his catch for a good price (generally very cheap) and cook at home (with a little help of a local person)this delicious shellfish.try it if you can make it.It´s cheapier than a restaurant.
Inhaca Island is just 10 minutes flight from Maputo. Nice place to stay and enjoy a little village near PESTANA resort.Beaches are wild.Take a boat and go the Island of Portuguese (Ilha dos Portugueses). Here you'll find beautiful Santo Amaro Beach.
One of the largest man-made lakes in Africa where ECO TRAVEL in a solid man made boat without industrial aid is possible.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 @ SONGAhttp://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.
Most of Mozambique is well off the beaten paths, but there's a province everybody will talk about as the remotest, far away, abandoned, isolated: the place where nobody would like to go, not even Mozambicans public servants. That is Niassa, and Lichinga is its administrative capital; the place where I have been based for three years, while the 'bandos armados' were swaying the countryside.The small mountain in the picture dominates the Matama plain, 15 km away from the city, where most of our fields were and the seed production unit had been built (and immediately abandoned due to its supposed unsafe location) by a former international co-operaton programme.More on Niassa, Lichinga and Matama, will be put in the travelogue.
Jay's Camp 50km north of Maputo on the road to Xai-Xai. At the delapidated town of Maracuena you take a ferry accross the Inkomati River and follow the signs to Jay's Camp. Jay's has excellent chalets if you want to spend the night, but you can take a day drive there as well (not in a sedan). They offer excellent meals served under thatched 'baracas'.
I still want to travel way up north in Mozambique, especially now with the recent implementation of a ferry service accross the Rovuma River into Tanzania, but up to now I have only travelled in the southern region. One of my best trips was down to Ponta do Ouro, visiting Ponta Mamoli and Ponta Malongane on the way. Camping sites and chalets are good. The sea is beautiful and offers good fishing and diving.
A church that looks a bit different.
Another amazing place. I don't know that much about building styles but this looks Moorish/ Spanish to me. In any case I wouldn't mind a house like this.
Believe it or not I ran into my parents in Beira. They were there visiting the pyramids. Weird huh?
