Mozambique

Maputo Province

The coast in southern Mozambique is known as a diving and surfing hot spot as well as the place to be for swimming with dolphins and even whale sharks. The quaint village of Ponta D’Ouro in Mozambique is a short distance from the South African border at Kosi Bay and is a popular Mozambique beach and holiday destination. Visitors will find this area particularly popular during the South African school holidays and booking in advance is essential. (Ponta D’Ouro includes Ponta Mamoli and Ponta Malongane.) In the early summer months - generally from October to December, turtles come onto the beach to lay their eggs, and in the winter whale watching is a popular attraction. Driving on the beach in this area in Mozambique is not permitted but there are exciting 4x4 trails through the dune forest. Those interested in surf fishing can fish for barracuda, kingfish and bream. There is a very limited amount of full-catered accommodation as the area is aimed for the budget self-catering South Africa traveller with their own 4x4 & venter trailer! The vibrant city of Maputo is the capital of Mozambique and was once the centre of all activities for the jet-setters! The 20-year civil war took a heavy toll, however, Maputo has recovered well with hotels and attractions being rejuvenated back to their former selves and better. Inhaca Island lies off the mainland of Maputo and is great for day trips from the city or for a few night stay at the only holiday resort on the island. There is great diving and snorkelling in the area.

Maputo and Southern Mozambique has a hot, wet & humid summer from October to April and so for those who prefer a drier and cooler climate, then the ‘winter’ months from April to September are the best time to visit – it is still warm during the day-time though. One requires a 4x4 to drive from Maputo to the southern Mozambique beaches and it takes about 4 hours – through the Maputo Elephant Reserve.
