Benguerra Island and Marlin Lodge – the latter built of Mozambican hardwoods and elevated on stilts – will ensure sweet dreams. •Ilha de Magaruque Catch a dhow to here or take a ski-boat transfer. Stroll on deserted beaches, or snorkel or scuba dive in the deep channel that runs offshore a short swim from the beach. Low tide exposes a multitude of pansy shells (one endemic to Mozambique) and dolphins surf along the coastline. •Ilha de Santa Carolina Boats ferry visitors from Vilankulos and Inhassoro to this isolated place of intense natural beauty. The hotel here is not operational so island visitors need to carry Lighthouse on Bazaruto Island a plentiful supply of water.

The species richness reflects the high diversity of ecosystems and wildlife of During the rule of the dictator Siad Barre, the country habitats.

  • Gorongosa NP, 2019
    Gorongosa NP, Mozambique Tom Clode, 8th - 13th September 2019 An ambitious relocation project had drawn my attention to Gorongosa NP in Mozambique in 2018, as a pack of wild dogs was moved from Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa to their new home. Gorongosa itself has plenty to offer besides the dogs (known locally as “Mabecos”) with a growing population of lions and elephants, reintroduced buffalo, zebra and wildebeest, and much more. The variety of game was greatly reduced by the Mozambican Civil War, and animals are still understandably wary around vehicles – cheetah were unsuccessfully reintroduced, leopard are vanishingly rare and the niche vacated by many antelope species has been filled by vast quantities of waterbuck. Having said this, the parks itself is stunning, consisting of a variety of landscapes and the wildlife is rewarding if you put the hours in. Mozambique is increasingly accessible, with Gorongosa accessed from either Beira or Chimoio most easily. I flew into Beira – Ethiopian Airlines fly here via Blantyre, but be aware that my flights were cancelled just two weeks before I was due to leave. I was forced to travel via Johannesburg with Virgin Atlantic and SA Airlink instead. Beira is a nice enough city, although still reeling from the effects of Cyclone Idai when I visited. Transfers, though not cheap, can be arranged from either Beira or Chimoio with the Montebelo hotel in Gorongosa. I can’t say enough nice things about the Montebelo Gorongosa resort. It certainly detracts from the feeling of being in the wild but makes up for it with comfortable accommodation, good food, friendly service and excellent amenities.
