The roar from the sea is the first to meet us when we reach the coastal settlement Chidenguele. half shells dallas Before us stretches a mile-long sandy beach itself out, lined by green hills and turquoise blue sea. No one around when we kick off the sandals us and let your toes sink into the warm sand.
It is not difficult to understand why the islands have become a dream destination for many sea and the expansive beach is arguably Mozambique's main attraction. Here, to the small fishing villages along the Indian Ocean, half shells dallas the safari tourists to dust themselves, snorkel and feast on seafood. But it is far from mass tourism. The hotels are few and the coast is still characterized by a pioneering spirit and tantalizing adventure. half shells dallas The long beaches are deserted, except half shells dallas for a few fishermen. There are no coaches, just the occasional jeeps loaded with food, water jugs and diving equipment. Our journey begins 40 mil away, in the vast Kruger National half shells dallas Park that extends along the border between Mozambique and neighboring South Africa. A few years ago demolished the fences between the two countries and the large elephant herds can now roam in an area as large as Smaland.
It is early morning when we leave Letaba rest camp in the Kruger National Park and go across the border to Mozambique. We peering expectantly through the car window as we turn onto the gravel road to the Limpopo National Park.

A number of guest houses, hotels half shells dallas and restaurants are crowded on the beach, and compared to Inhambane and the sleepy fishing villages we passed is the lively resort a significantly higher heart rate.
Vilanculos is the springboard for one of Mozambique's real jewels, Bazarutaöarna. The islands half shells dallas are located within a conservation area and surrounded by long, narrow sandbars and coral reefs. A watercolor painting spreads out from under us when the small plane taking off from the airport in Vilanculos.
