Enjoy an afternoon boat cruise with game viewing on the river. Transfer to the Makokola Retreat on Lake Malawi for dinner and overnight. Dress: Casual Liwonde National Park is a delightful and peaceful experience of lagoons, swamps, grasslands and Mopane woodlands. Its claim to fame is that it has the largest elephant population in Malawi with herds of sable, kudu and many other gracious antelope and small numbers of predators, namely lion, leopard and jackal. The birdlife is prolific along the Shire River. The Makokola Retreat is on the palm-fringed southern shore of the renowned Lake Malawi, home to many birds, fish and reptiles.

Dress: Smart Casual UPDATED 13 JULY 2020 After dinner, the train crosses the rebuilt Dona Ana Bridge from Mutarara to Vila de Sena. At 3.67km, it is the longest bridge to span the mighty Zambezi River comprising 33 spans of 80m and 7 spans of 50m. Built by the Portuguese in 1934 during the Portuguese rule of Mozambique, it was rendered unusable in the 1980s during the civil war. USAID assisted with the repairs and converted it to a single-lane bridge for vehicle traffic. In 2009, after three years of rehabilitation, it was converted back to a rail bridge and, in 2017, the pedestrian lane – used daily by over 3000 people – was renovated. DAY 5: AT LEISURE ON BOARD 07:00 Breakfast is served in the dining cars until 10:00. 13:00 Lunch is served in the dining cars. The train travels through Muanza and Dondo. 16:30 Tea is served in the lounge and observation cars. 19:30 Dinner is served in the dining cars en route to Beira for overnight. Dress: Smart Casual The journey towards Beira shows impoverished towns and settlements, which indicate how locals have had to become self-sustaining subsistence farmers. The main agricultural products of this district are corn, cassava, cowpea, peanut, pearl millet, sorghum and sweet potato. DAY 6: BEIRA BORDER: MACHIPANDA, MOZAMBIQUE / MUTARE, ZIMBABWE 07:00 Breakfast is served in the dining cars until departure. 09:00 Enjoy a tour of Beira including the Macuti Lighthouse and Shipwreck. 11:00 Depart Beira passing through Mafambisse, home of Hulett Sugar in Mozambique. 13:00 Lunch is served in the dining cars. 16:30 Tea is served in the lounge and observation cars. 19:30 Dinner is served in the dining cars en route to the border for overnight. Dress: Smart Casual The somewhat swampy approach to Beira takes you into Mozambique’s busiest port and third-largest city, which is situated on the Mozambique Channel at the convergence of the Pungwe and Buzi rivers. Ravaged by the civil war and mostly in a ruinous state, Beira can be an enjoyable place to explore. Like Maputo, the Portuguese influence is evident in its architecture. The red and white-striped lighthouse was built in 1904. In 1985, the Macuti tugboat was intentionally run aground here to serve as a breakwater. For a vessel that was once on a national postage stamp, it seems like an undignified end. DAY 7: MUTARE & LEOPARD ROCK 07:00 Breakfast is served in the dining cars until departure. Border formalities with Zimbabwe. 09:00 Visit the Mutare Museum followed by a scenic drive to Leopard Rock Hotel for lunch. 16:30 Tea is served in the lounge and observation cars. 19:30 Dinner is served in the dining cars en route to Harare. Dress: Smart Casual The Beira-Mashonaland Railway, initiated by Cecil Rhodes, brought prosperity to Mutare. Railway workshops and staff housing were erected there. The decision to move the main workshops to Bulawayo sadly brought a decline in the economy of the town. The charming museum covers a range of themes such as archaeology, ethnography, transport and natural history with a collection of vintage vehicles. The Leopard Rock Hotel, once a favourite spot of some British royals, is located in the tranquil, forest-clad slopes of the Bvumba Mountains, which straddle the Zimbabwe-Mozambique border at 1911m high. In the language of the Shona people, bvumba means ‘mist’ or ‘spatter’. The countryside between Mutare and Harare is famous for its varied landscape of farmlands, Msasa trees, granite boulders and rolling highland mountains. DAY 8: HARARE 07:00 Breakfast is served in the dining cars until departure. 09:00 Discover Harare on a sightseeing tour visiting local galleries and a flea market. 13:00 Lunch is served in the dining cars. Travel across the Midlands province to Gweru, nicknamed the City of Progress. 16:30 Tea is served in the lounge and observation cars. 19:30 Dinner is served in the dining cars. Dress: “Africa” Theme or Smart Casual Harare (nee Salisbury until 1982) is the capital city of Zimbabwe, once a vibrant and prosperous nation that has been detrimentally affected by the political and economic crisis. However, Zimbabweans are renowned for their artistic abilities so – in an economy that is now over 85% informal trade (street trading) – you can visit the flea markets and experience how gifted and talented the people are at producing much out of very little. DAY 9: ANTELOPE PARK 06:00 Breakfast is served in the dining cars until departure. 08:00 Visit Antelope Park. 13:00 Lunch is served in the dining cars. Travel through attractive granite hill country to Oreti for overnight. 16:30 Tea is served in the lounge and observation cars. 19:30 Dinner is served in the dining cars. Dress: Smart Casual Set in over 3000 acres of open savannah grassland, Antelope Park is a unique game reserve and a haven of tranquillity welcoming guests and volunteer eco-tourists alike. It is home to the world-famous African Lion and Environmental Research Trust (ALERT) lion rehabilitation programme, which is a multiphase lion conservation initiative. It is Africa’s first genuine programme working to ethically reintroduce the offspring of captive-bred African lions back into the wild. DAY 10: GREAT ZIMBABWE MONUMENT BORDER: SANGO, ZIMBABWE / CHICUALACUALA, MOZAMBIQUE 06:30 Breakfast is served in the dining cars until departure. 08:30 Visit the Great Zimbabwe Monument followed by lunch. 15:00 Return to the train at Rutenga. Traverse Gonarezhou National Park. 16:30 Tea is served in the lounge and observation cars. 19:30 Dinner is served in the dining cars en route to Chicualacuala. Mozambique, for overnight. Dress: Smart Casual UPDATED 13 JULY 2020 The Great Zimbabwe Monument is an impressive monument situated on the southeastern edge of the central plateau and the largest precolonial monument south of the Egyptian pyramids. A celebrated achievement of the African people and a place where magical fables such as the story of King Solomon’s Mines find their origins amongst the ruins of an ancient city built by the Rozwi people. Discover how these ancient people lived and mined gold and silver, which were ultimately taken out of Africa by Arabic and Portuguese traders. The area is also home to forests of precious timber such as teak, mahogany and mukwa. Gonarezhou National Park, the Place of Elephants, is situated in a remote part of the country at 5 053km2 in size. It forms part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links Gonarezhou with the Kruger National Park in South Africa and the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique. Animals may move freely between the three sanctuaries, together totalling 35 000km2.

    Riversdale’sRiversdale’s Zambezi Zambezi River River BargingBarging Project, Project, Zambezi Zambezi River, River, MozambiqueMozambique FinalEnvironmental Environmental and andSocial Social Impact Impact AssessmentAssessment Report Report August 2011 Delivering sustainable solutions in a more competitive world NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY INTRODUCTION An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) has been compiled for the proposed Zambezi River Coal Barging Project, on behalf of Riversdale Mozambique Limitada (hereafter referred to as RML). RML is a 65%-owned subsidiary of Riversdale Mining Limited, a mining company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, with operations in South Africa and Mozambique. The other 35% of RML is owned by Tata Steel, a major Indian steel producer. An ESIA is a systematic process that predicts and evaluates the potential impacts a proposed project may have on aspects of the physical, biological, socio-economic and human environment as determined by specialist studies and analyses of the specific environment. Mitigation measures, as set out in the approved environmental management plan, are then developed and incorporated into the Project execution plan to eliminate, minimise or reduce adverse impacts and, where practicable, to enhance benefits. RML have appointed Environmental Resources Management Southern Africa Pty Ltd (ERM) in partnership with Impacto Associados Lda (Impacto) as the independent consultants to undertake the ESIA for the Zambezi River Coal Barging Project, the main results of which are presented in this non-technical summary. EIA Process The ESIA process followed was designed to comply with the relevant Mozambican environmental legislation. Accordingly, the ESIA process comprised of a number of key steps, namely: • Project Registration • EPDA Phase (also known as Scoping Phase, and culminating in an EPDA Report) • Specialist Studies • Impact Assessment Phase (culminating in an ESIA Report).

  • The Political Sublime. Reading Kok Nam, Mozambican Photographer (1939-2012)
    The Political Sublime. Reading Kok Nam, Mozambican photographer (1939-2012) RUI ASSUBUJI History Department, University of the Western Cape PATRICIA HAYES History Department, University of the Western Cape Kok Nam began his photographic career at Studio Focus in Lourenço Marques in the 1950s, graduated to the newspaper Notícias and joined Tempo magazine in the early 1970s. Most recently he worked at the journal Savana as a photojournalist and later director. This article opens with an account of the relationship that developed between Kok Nam and the late President Samora Machel, starting with the photo- grapher’s portrait of Machel in Nachingwea in November 1974 before Independence. It traces an arc through the Popular Republic (1976-1990) from political revelation at its inception to the difficult years of civil war and Machel’s death in the plane crash at Mbuzini in 1986. The article then engages in a series of photo-commentaries across a selection of Kok Nam’s photographs, several published in their time but others selected retrospectively by Kok Nam for later exhibition and circulation. The approach taken is that of ‘association’, exploring the connections between the photographs, their histories both then and in the intervening years and other artifacts and mediums of cultural expression that deal with similar issues or signifiers picked up in the images. Among the signifiers picked up in the article are soldiers, pigs, feet, empty villages, washing, doves and bridges. The central argument is that Kok Nam participated with many others in a kind of collective hallucination during the Popular Republic, caught up in the ‘political sublime’.

  • WIDER Working Paper 2017/191 the Impact of Infrastructure Shocks On
    WIDER Working Paper 2017/191 The impact of infrastructure shocks on agricultural markets Evidence from the Zambezi river in Mozambique César Salazar1 and Sam Jones2 November 2017 Abstract: Prior to 2009, there was no direct road connection between the southern regions of Mozambique—where the capital city is located—and the more agriculturally-productive central and northern regions. In this paper, we leverage the opening of a major road bridge to identify the impact of enhanced domestic transport infrastructure on agricultural market performance. We apply a generalized difference-in-difference estimator within a dyadic regression context. While we find no reduction in the market price differential around the time the bridge opened for all treated market pairs, there is a significant and persistent price impact only among previously disconnected markets located close to the new bridge. This suggests that new infrastructure can enhance market performance, but such benefits are spatially limited.
