Combine reefs and beaches with game viewing and Mozambiques vibrant
capital Maputo. Mozambique contrasts captured in a week.

Day 1, Johannesburg, Maputo
We leave the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg early in the morning for our coach journey to Mozambique's capital Maputo. After border formalities it's a short journey to this vibrant capital city. Heavily influenced by Portuguese colonialism with a mix of African culture, this city is littered with cafes, bars, restaurants and market shopping. The city was originally named Lourenço Marques after the Portuguese trader who first explored the area in 1544. We have the rest of the day to explore our surrounding and this evening experience Maputos night life.

Day 2, Maputo Bay, Salagamga, Maputo Elephant Reserve.
Today we make our way to our beach paradise. En route we pass though Salamanga and enter into the Maputo Elephant Reserve. Before 1975 and the civil war this reserve teemed with wildlife including many white rhino. Unfortunately the number of animals dwindled during the war but are now making a comeback. We can see elephant as well as hippo, crocodile, red duiker, vervet and samango monkeys and a myriad of birdlife. We arrive at our beach haven in the late afternoon.

Day 3 - 5, Ponta Mamoli
The next three days are spent in and around this private, secluded and unspolit beach. We can enjoy the water in many ways. Swimming, diving, snorkelling, surfing and fishing are all catered for here. The coral is untouched and in excellent condition, encouraging huge schools of fish. Whales and dolphins are also spotted regularly. Lake canoeing trips, horse trails and hiking trails are also available away from the beach or simply relax by the swimming pool and bar with breathtaking views of the ocean in full view.

Day 6 - 7, Maputo, Johannesburg
Catch an early morning swim before making our way back to Maputo to overnight once again. This is the time for any last minute shopping or sea food indulging before we travel back to Johannesburg the following morning.
