If you are planning on going to Mozambique you mustn't miss the following;
- Maputo; a seafood platter at Costa do Sol and a snap shot of the railway station designed by Eiffel. If you prefer a burger och a pizza you must check out Mundos Restaurant. Catembe is yet another half day trip you could do, having some seafood and watching the Maputo skyline. Also the central market in the baixa is highly recommended, to get a good view of this city by the sea.
- South; Ponta do Ouro, a wonderful beach to which you must drive through an elephant park. You need a 4x4, but it will be worth it. Might be crowded with diving South Africans, but if you prefer something else you just head north ...
- North; plan for a 200 km drive to Xai Xai province and Nascer do Sol lodge. You will be surprised by the hospitality, a beach on your own and the sound of the Indian Ocean. To get here the roads are very good, but the cops bad ... so don't exceed the speed limits!
- Further up North; Pemba is close to Tanzania but also a beautiful picturesque old fishing village with nice beaches and good food.
