Day 3 on the buses and Pemba
This is a top pick! Boss took advantage of my hospitality by getting up at 3am for the 5am bus! My alarm was set for 4:30, I bit more of a sociable hour, but not much! The bus was half empty, what sort of African country had I come to! Stopping in the villages was also ...
Another crap Mozambique hotel
This is a top pick! ... for 5am to Mocuba. The landscape was all very green and wooded with a few patches cleared here and there for agriculture. Mozambique doesn't have a huge population and many of the areas I've passed through still have plenty of forested areas. I wondered ...
In Search of Sunshine in Mozambique
This is a top pick! ... Tibet and the Himalayas, New Zealand and South America and thus there was no star gazing for us. Fortunately the skies in Mozambique have been wonderfully clear allowing for fantastic views of the stars and the Milky Way Galaxy. We couldn’t resist ...
4 days wait for the daily train
This is a top pick! ... to stay here for 4 days! I don't know if it's the Portuguese influence (they stayed until 1974) but the towns in Mozambique seemed so different to anything else I'd experienced in Africa. Met Barnaby and Avery for a very nice Indian fish curry that ...
Bribed by the cops in a World Heritage Site
This is a top pick! 7 hours in a bus and then 1 hour in the back of a pick-up to get us to Ilha de Mozambique - Recently the whole island was turned into a UNESCO World Heritage site. We picked up plenty of food on our bus ride from street vendors. Guava was 20c for 30 and ...
Stranded......
This is a top pick! ... : Day : 214 Temperature : 22 degrees Weather : Rainy for two solid days!! One of the big dilemas we had when coming to Mozambique was whether to take a 4x4 or not. We dithered about making a decision and finally decided that an ordinary car would do. BIG ...
Maputo

Inhassoro, Vilanculos, Inhambane and Tofo
This is a top pick! ... net and all, then sat down on the same chair for the following eight hours advising backpackers which transport routes to take through East Africa. I felt a sense of completion - 71 days of travel, 10 countries and 5000km of Mozambique! ...
Quelimane and Zalala Beach
This is a top pick! Quelimane & Zalala Beach 3rd - 5th February 2007 Silva heard of a trendy night club that was supposedly still happening and jumped in the truck eagerly trying to find the place. The girl (I can't remember her name, but will refer ...
Spice Holidays...
This is a top pick! ... we've sailed back to Dar Es Salaam, driven down through southern Tanzania, spent a few days on lake Malawi, and transited through Mozambique (camping in the middle fo the bush) to get to Harare in time for the cricket match that they're not playing. Oh ...
Mozambique and Boss runs out of cash
This is a top pick! ... . They had all been disgusted with the transport costs, but when you have a monopoly there is not too much choice. After Mozambique immigration we had another 2 hour wait before we could get our transport to Mocimboa de Praia. The 4 hour trip on ...
Moçimboa de Praia and the Mighty Rovuma
This is a top pick! Moçimboa de Praia & Rovuma 29th - 31st January 2007 Silva was a very interesting man. He kept telling me how he was confused that he'd let me join him. He told me he had three rules against travel partners: ...
Still not in Australia
This is a top pick! Viva Mozambique So still not in Australia... Armed with a couple of phrases in Portuguese from Marcel, I arrive in Mozambique. Crossing the border from Malawi there is about 5 kms of no-mans land between the borders which is an uphill struggle ...

This is a top pick! ... wooden frames and wheels. Steve spotted a young Green Mamba sliding across the floor next to us at one point. The currency in Mozambique is called the Metical, I'm not sure where this name come from as I've never heard of it before. Some young kids ...
Ibo and the masturbating sailors!
This is a top pick! Made the snap decision to take the Dhow with Steve and Roberto to Ibo. The Swedes had dropped out. I'd wanted to go to Ibo originally but decided I didn't have time. The chance to take a Dhow, something I'd wanted to do also, had changed my mind. Smitty ...
Hunting for Fish in Ponta D'Ora
This is a top pick! ... a heavy heart, set off once again for the border post at Kosi Bay, and our journey back in to South Africa. The problem with Mozambique is that there is never enough time. It is a beautiful country with a gentle soul. I love her to pieces. Our time ...
Hot times in Tete

The Journey to Tofo
This is a top pick! "It's a miracle we actually fit in this cab" As I watched our cab driver ram sack 4 packs into the boot. The cab itself was typical, broken door, no seat belts and cheap. It took 10 minutes and 10 Cdn dollars to get us to our destination but we arrived ...
Tofo - Swimming with Whale Sharks
This is a top pick! I spent my first 4 days in Tofo relaxing and enjoying the beach. We spent our days picking coconuts, bartering for fresh avocados, body surfing, swimming and swinging in the hammock. On the 5th day Ester and I decided to go snorkeling for Whale ...
Motoring Through Mozambique
This is a top pick! ... $30 U.S. for a visa for about a three hour across the top of Mozambique, we continued on our way. If anything, this part of Mozambique felt even more poverty stricken than rural Malawi. For the first hour, we saw no signs at all of any type of grid; ...
Nampula and Naçala
This is a top pick! ... . It had been three weeks since I'd left the coast and I was eager to get into the sea. Naçala was northern Mozambique's busiest port and gateway to some attractive beaches. It was only 3 hours away but the only direct transport left at ...

Nampula Again
This is a top pick! ... the boot, while we waited for the truck to be ready. We checked out the museum, which, like everything else in Mozambique, hadn't changed much since the 70's. The carver's market was filled with men chipping away at fresh pieces of ...
The Islands
