- Day 127 – Black Hawk Down We rose like champions at four o’clock, before the crack of dawn; we had a slow motion rally to drive in order to get to the border. We watched the sun rise between the vertical columns of granite that rose Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Feb 3, 2012
- Day 126 – Crowded Boats and Broken Tempers Our eyes opened as the stars disappeared into the first grey of morning light. We rose with forced energy driven by the fear of missing our boat. Down at the harbour they were still readying the boat, the sun was Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Feb 3, 2012
- Day 125 – Lounging in theLodge We walked past the $300 per night Ibo Island Lodge on the way back to our camp site. We were goaded by the clear water of the infinity pool, the warm wood of the surrounding decking and its pleasant smell, Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Feb 3, 2012
- Day 124 - The Three Trials to Quirimba Amici arrived as planned at 8am and served as a translator as we spoke to the guys running the camp. The final statement on their part was ‘Maybe a dog ran off with it.’ Deary me. With our kit packed Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Feb 3, 2012
- Day 122 -123 – Looking for the LighthouseWe woke up on an island in the Indian Ocean that we hadn’t actually seen yet. In our camp was a lone South African called Johan who was packing to leave. He was half-chatting-half-repelling a youth who appeared on familiar Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Feb 2, 2012
- Day 121 – Here we go to IboSomers had suggested we rise at sparrows and journey our way to the little village of Tandenhangue from where we could get a dhow (Arabian style wind powered boat) to Ihla d’Ibo. I suggested that every time we suggest such Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Feb 2, 2012
- Day 119 - 120 – PembaThere really isn’t much to do in Pemba. It has a beach which, though we’re told is ‘normally beautiful and spotlessly clean,’ was, at the time of writing, covered in litter ‘from the storm.’ I’ve heard of frogs, locusts, first Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 29, 2012
- Day 118 – Pemba ‘Magic’Laura had a little moment while we were at Libelula and left the tent door open in a tropical thunderstorm. We slept the other way around so that only our feet were cooled by the damp and the next morning Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 29, 2012
- Day 116 -117 – English VoicesNacala was another putrefying centre of overpopulated dirt trying desperately to evolve into a city. It might just do that one day but for the next ten years or so I’d recommend giving it a wide berth. Unless that is, Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 29, 2012
- Day 114 - 115 Palacio de la GovernatoresWomen in Africa are baby machines. If you have functioning, sexually mature ovaries, you have either a baby in your arms or in your belly or you have both. In our previous experiences we had seen that mothers had been Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 29, 2012
- Day 109 – 113 – Ilha De MozambiqueLonely Planet told us that the three and a half kilometre bridge from the mainland to Mozambique Island has a 1.5 tonne limit; since that was just over Joseph’s live weight we would never get over it. Luckily enough for Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 29, 2012
- Day 108 – No Fala Portuguesa The next morning Somers had a little swim in another fancy pool, the nicest yet. A day of driving was required to get us across the six hundred and fifty kilometres to Nampula; the major town before Ilha De Mozambique. Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 29, 2012
- Day 107 – Playing the Money Changers We had a long way to go to complete the ‘trans-Africa’ leg of the journey. An hour down the road was Chimoio, a town big enough to provide us with internet, fuel and shopping on a Sunday. The Shoprite supermarket Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 29, 2012
- Day 105 – 106 – Casa MsikaWell, if everyone didn’t suddenly start speaking Portuguese I’d have been damned. One minute communication was sixty percent speech and forty percent body language; the next it was thirty percent speech (English with an ‘o’ at the end of every Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 18, 2012
- Off The Beaten Path: Mozambique IIOur journey to the town of Pemba was one of our more interesting experiences. Public transportation in Mozambique leaves extremely early, 3, 4, 5am, etc. Before the sun rose, we took a matola (pickup truck) for two-hours to Posted by geldere in The Hostel Honeymoon | Sep 16, 2011
- Off the Beaten Path in Mozambique IIt was a long and complicated journey from Cape Maclear, Malawi to Cuamba, Mozambique. In brief, it went like this: matola (a pickup truck that carries passengers and goods in its bed), minibus, second minibus, second matola, Malawi border, Posted by geldere in The Hostel Honeymoon | Sep 13, 2011
- First trip: InhambaneThis trip was undertaken because I was (and still am) temporarily on "holiday" because the minister of industry and commerce has to sign a document confirming I can start working, and is procrastinating for some reason. No idea why the Posted by davidros in David's Africa pictures | Oct 9, 2010

- Last day of beautiful diving Doodles was our dive location for today and we only had one dive. We cannot dive without atleast 4 people so we are at the mercy of the group of 7 for the dive times. The dive was Posted by ErinDriver in Drivers Touring Europe....and Beyond | May 18, 2010

- MozambiqueSo, moving on from Malawi, our next stop was Mozambique. We took a pick-up truck to the border (we have climbed on the back of so many that this is now normal, so no issues there). From there Posted by S Pirouet in African Adventures | Jan 10, 2010
