After waking up to the sounds of the Indian Ocean, we will enjoy
a hearty tropical breakfast. We will travel north to the town of
Inhambane, with one of the best curio markets in Mozambique. After

Rays and the Whale Shark, the majestic giant of the sea.
The days are
spent organizing swimming trips, lazing in the sun, swimming in
the tropical sea, playing beach volleyball and walking down to the
beach bar for sundowners. The small town of Tofo also has its own
small curio and food market and one or two restaurants where they
serve great seafood and other local dishes typical of Mozambique.
