Quilalea Island Resort

<br>Ibo was a major slave trading port in the 18th century, occupied first by the Arabs traders and then then the Portuguese. It is now made of ruined colonial buildings and streets with pavements, while the surrounding houses are made of makuti - straws, and mud...<br> <br>It is one of the main islands of the beautiful Quirimbas ...

<br>Invited to stay in a local family for 2 nights was a REAL experience. The conditions in which they live are not bad, the most difficult thing to get used to is that their notions of hygiene is very different from ours. But I have been warmly welcomed by Elena and her 5 children and she fed me like her own child, calling me on my cell phone when dinner was ...

Not a great accomodation, clean and enough as all the activities are turned on outdoor : walking or driving safaris. Not a lot of animals to see, but a very beautifull and amazing landscape.<br>And here it's adventure first<br>to have an idea www.taratibulodge.com <br>Fairwinds<br>Corto

The transport here was smooth sailing. It may not sound like it at first but everying worked out perfectly. The truck picked us up at 3am in front of our hostel, which took us to the mini bus, which took us to an intersection, where we caught the Pempa bound bus after only 2 minutes of waiting. We got the back ...

... minutes down the road I realized I had my license but had forgotten my passport, so we turned around, back across the bridge, back to Jorge's place, picked up the passport, and back on the road to Nampula. As we headed out a second time I jokingly asked Kyle if he had everything he needed, because we weren't going to go back again. Fifteen minutes later, around the same spot where we had turned around, Kyle mentioned that he had left his license back on the island. I was certain ...

Ons het Mosambiek by Milange ingekom.Die paar kilometer van die grenspos na die dorp het ons agterop fietstaxis gery. Anders as die fietstaxi wat met my in Manghici se hoofstraat neergekom het, ry ons die slag veilig. Die aand slaap ons in 'n "guesthouse" met n sinkdak en sonder 'n plafon. Na heerlike hoender vir aandete jaag die donderwolke wat oor Mulanje berg aangerol kom ons guesthouse toe. In die vroe oggendure maak die gedruis van die reen ...

Naçala to Pemba 27th January 2007 I set my alarm for 04:00 as I had to get the 05:00 Grupo Mecula bus to Pemba. There was only one bus and I was told it always left on time and never stopped on the way. I was adamant that this was the bus, so I packed up my tent, throwing in wet laundry, sand and bugs, made one big parcel out of everything and threw it on my back, all in the dark. It took half an hour to walk the 2km to the main road from Fim du Mundo, and I ...

7am start and Boss who had stayed in a separate hotel due to the number of rooms available came to pick me up in the taxi. I let him do the haggling to get the transport to the border and he showed no mercy. I think the driver liked him though as he came to join us for our chai, bread and eggs at breakfast. We met a sound father and son from Zanzibar who would be our partners in crime for the day. The farther was 77 and I'd never have guessed ...

Flo invited Susana and I to stay with him (outside his house?) on Ibo. We set up camp on the stoep and promptly became a local attraction. After a couple of weeks of doing very little but wander the historic ruins on Ibo we discovered that Flo had all the dive equipment you could want inside the house just in time for us to leave ...
