Azura Benguerra Island

Le mozambique veut privilegier le tourisme de luxe, mais heureusement on peut encore voyager pour pas cher dans ce pays. Apres tofo, voici un autre coin de reve. On peut faire des excursions en bateau suivies de poissons grilles sur la plage (ou des langoustes), ou faire du cheval avec vu sur la mangrove, cocoteraies et galop sur la plage avec en prime en ete nage avec les chevaux dans l eau (en restant assis sur le cheval). <br>

'Nah Hallo, da seid ihr ja endlich...alles gut gegangen...keine verrueckten Trucks in Euch gefahren??? Marvin, schoen dich endlich kennen zu lernen, kommt herein...ich bin Gerd!'<br><br>This big friendly man with the dark moustache and nearly two meter tall frame bursts into the lazy hot Mozambiquean ambience like fresh water out of a hosepipe. I blink my eyes to make sure I have not landed at some German Wurststand ... but no, this is still Vilanculo and we are entering the very ...

... freestanding cabin with shutters on every side. It's absolutely stunning in its wood craftsmanship and natural beauty. At each corner and in the bathroom, instead of shutters there are branches woven in such a way as to allow the breeze to come in and still maintain privacy. We have a big verandah out front with a plunge pool, a hammock and two awesome cushy chairs with those kind of arms that are big enough for you to set a drink on ...

... And on their table they had heaps of fish of all sorts of colours and sizes. Sadly we declined as we had no facilities to make any of them, but they looked fantastic! The next couple of days were spent chilling in this small port town. It is not yet tourist season so there few around, and our hostel was quiet with few guests. We spent an interesting evening with Grande and Narcis (bartender), showing them pictures of Europe on our laptop. You could tell how excited they were and ...

... happens in my mini, it was usually followed by jerks and splutters, and a few hundred metres later I was stuck. I was driving on love and fresh air. We counted down the kilometers to the nearest town while debating whether we would find any fuel there. Every incline was met with anxiety. The last thing we needed was to be stranded in the middle of nowhere in this heat We coasted into the ugly town of Gorongosa and there wasn't a gas station anywhere in ...

... gaat niet verder dan Bom Dia, Bao tarde/noite en Come esta. Ik versta die gasten soms niet omdat ze En zacht praten En gebroken Engels gecombineerd met een Portugees accent. Tel daar soms nog bier bij op....onverstaanbaar !?!? Op 25-12 is een heerlijke braai met barracuda vis, SUPER LEKKER en een live zang en dans optreden ...

After touching the extreme south of Africa, our travels have come to an end in the paradise of Mozambique. Beach, sun, sand, and best of all, awesome diving have been filling our last week of our adventure. Off these shores, we have seen such rich wildlife - especially compared to Lake Malawi, site of our last underwater safari. Here, the fish are huge, the biggest being the 12m long WHALE-SHARK. These ...

After a cold and greasy breakfast at the twilight hotel, we left Chimois for Vilankulo, our last full day of driving before reaching the much anticipated Mozambique coast and two weeks of relaxation, or so we thought. Vilankulo is one of Mozambique's top beach destinations because of it's white sand, turquoise waters and it's gateway to the Bazaruto Islands. The drive was straight forward but we were surprised to find that ...

Nog een ochtendzwemmmetje bij Tofo Beach en door naar Vilanculos. Camping Cosmos, nen dikken Duitser die belachelijke prijzen vroeg om dan d'een naast d'ander geperst te worden, liever ni en dus maar bij Jef en Tina gaan kamperen ... gezellig (alleen schrok ik 's nachts nogal bij het naar de WC gaan wegens een gezicht vol bloed, er zaten hier nogal veel muggen). Een gigantisch bord seafood gaan eten, een ...

... crowded and test your patience to degrees that only travel in Africa is capable of reaching. We're loving every bone-jarring moment of it (well, maybe not the one where we were urinated on in the bus, but other than that, its been fun in a masochistic sort of way). Last I wrote we were enjoying the white sandy beaches in Tofo. The diving there was incredible for large animals. We went on a dive to Manta Reef and dove to about 75 feet and let the current carry us past ...
