Mozambique’s coast is lined with palm trees and
sandy white beaches, blue clear waters, coral reefs and
sunny skies, making Mozambique the ultimate relaxing holiday
destination. From Singa in the north to Ponta Do Ouro
in the south you will find pristine beaches, fantastic
fishing spots and excellent surf … not to mention
the abundance of fresh seafood available.
Mozambique is situated on the south-eastern coastline
of Africa, which makes it a tropical to sub-tropical climate.
Mozambique rarely gets cold and runs on an average temperature
of 28 degrees. There are 2 main seasons throughout the
year: the WET season which runs from November to March
and the DRY season which runs April to October. During
the WET season the climate is very hot and humid making
the DRY season a more attractive time to visit Mozambique.
After almost 5 centuries as a Portuguese colony, Mozambique
became independent in 1975. The countries growth was hindered
for many years after prolonged droughts and a civil war
but the recovery of the country over the last few has
been astonishing. These days Mozambique has a relaxed
pace and friendly atmosphere, which makes it a desirable
country to visit. Mozambique’s amazing weather and
coastline means that water-based or outdoor activities
are abundant. From sailing, diving, fishing or simply
relaxing on the beach or sipping a cocktail while watching
the sun go down, there is something for everyone to do.
Come and
experience 4 Idyllic days of fun in the sun in
Mozambique.
Day one
we awaken as the sun rises and begin our exquisite
journey, leaving Nelspruit and heading towards our well
deserved vacation in Mozambique. Once we have completed
the hustle and bustle of Border formalities we are
welcomed to the cosmopolitan life of Maputo. We relax
and enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the capital city and
then take in a bit of sight seeing of this awesome city.
A must is a visit to the local market before we book
into the guest house. As the sun sets and the night
envelopes us. We dine out on fresh seafood in abundance,
that is from the fish market as we enjoy the ambience of
the local Portuguese restaurants of Mozambique. Partying
the night away at one of the local jazz clubs.
Day two,
we hopefully awaken refreshed after a night of partying
together with a great nights sleep and after a
scrumptious breakfast we travel north to the coastal
town of Biliene. On arrival we drop off our bags in the
quaint Palmerios Lodge which is perfectly situated a
mere few meters from the lagoon. The day is filled with
plenty relaxation under the sunny skies with the Indian
ocean sparkling before us. Whether a sparking swim in
the ocean or a leisurely walk on the golden sands of the
beach are order of the day, an enjoyable dinner whilst
drinking in the true beauty of the beach and sea
together with a perfect sunset ends a perfect day.
Day three
promises plenty of rest and relaxation on the beach.
With a wide variety of choices – you decide what will
today bring: sunbathing? Fishing? Snorkelling or a day
of exploring and visiting the locals? The world is your
oyster in Beliene! The evening descends upon us with a
dinner of fresh fish bought from the local fisherman – a
truly unforgettable tropical experience.
Day four,
we hesitantly awaken, as we realize its time to leave
the peaceful and idyllic setting of the beach and life
on the beach. After a last scrumptious breakfast, set
against the backdrop of the ocean we traverse back to
South Africa as we indulge in our stunning memories made
in Mozambique.
