INTRODUCTION

GREAT WILDLIFE, GREAT BEACHES, GREAT CUISINE M

ozambique is an incomparable destination. In many ways it is still waiting to be discovered; yet it’s a destination that can offer just about everything, from fabulous beaches to big game in abundance and from an ocean full of fish to a collection of deserted islands to die for. And that’s without even mentioning its lively and colourful cities and its warm and welcoming people.

Then there is Mozambique’s colonial legacy, which can be appreciated in the form of its language, in its inspiring and delicious cuisine and, naturally enough, in the architecture of its major towns and cities, where the restoration of many fine public buildings is still going on as the nation renews itself after its troubles in the late 20th century. Its Portuguese links can also be found in historical locations such as

The mainland, too, has its fair share of exotic locations, including still more deserted beaches. There are plenty to choose from. Praia da Macaneta can be reached by boat from Maputo, while Ponta do Ouro involves a trip in a 4x4 vehicle and has some really nice properties.

So Mozambique can now offer truly spectacular wildlife viewing. Combine this with the attractions of the nearby Indian Ocean and Mozambique really does offer beach and safari in just one compelling destination.

Close to Ponta do Ouro are Ponta Malongane, sheltered Xai-Xai and the 27 km long Bilene lagoon. Every one of Mozambique’s coastal provinces can claim its own special piece of paradise by the ocean. DESTINATION MOZAMBIQUE 3RD EDITION

n Mozambique, music, song and dance form an integral part of the country’s culture and are used not only as a form of expression but also as a lingua franca between its people and all they believe in.

Perhaps most impressive is Mozambique’s staggering 740 or more species of birds. Whether you are an avid birdwatcher or a novice naturalist, you will doubtless be impressed by the nation’s avifauna. In addition to common but beautiful birds such as flamingos, hawks and herons, Mozambique is home to many rare birds including the east coast akalat, green tinkerbird, Cape vulture and olive-headed weaver. There is a variety of birdwatching hotspots throughout the country. The best of these are the Bazaruto Archipelago, Gorongosa National Park, Mount Namuli, the Chimanimani Mountains and the wetlands of Banhine National Park.

Centrally located in Mozambique, this 4,000 km park has an abundance of ecosystems thanks mainly to the seasonal flooding of the valley, which provides water and nourishment for the land. From grasslands to forests to plateaux, the diversity of Gorongosa makes it a habitat for some of Africa’s most spectacular animals. For most visitors, however, the star attraction

GORONGOSA NATIONAL PARK WILDLIFE A survey in 1974 showed an abundance of wildlife including about 6,000 elephant and 500 lion. After the conflict in 1994, however, another survey revealed a sad decline, with only about 100 elephant, 300 reedbuck, 100 waterbuck and a handful of zebra and antelope. A national park once renowned for its variety of animals now struggled to match its competitors on the continent. Since then, under the restoration projects, animals have been reintroduced to Gorongosa, mainly from national parks in South Africa such as Kruger and iSimangaliso. Buffalo, wildebeest, lion, elephant, hippo, eland and others have been relocated to Gorongosa over the past 20 years, repopulating the national park and restoring it to its former glory.

The task of restoring the park has been neither quick nor easy. But, more than a decade after the project began, Gorongosa is once again a beautiful place, thanks to a partnership between the government and the Carr Foundation, a United States-based organisation set up by the philanthropist Gregory C. Carr. Under this partnership, an amazing restoration of Gorongosa has taken place. It includes the reintroduction of wildlife to the area, the building of Chitengo Safari Camp and all-round promotion of the park as a born-again tourist destination. A visit to Gorongosa is worthwhile in so many ways. Of course, many visitors go there just to experience the magnificent wildlife, birdlife and landscapes; but everyone who visits the park is also playing a role in the conservation effort that is helping to make a difference. Guests, and anyone else keen to support Gorongosa, can help in other ways, too – for example, by sponsoring a student, donating to the Lion Project or supporting the creation of a school garden.

BIRDLIFE Renowned for is huge and diverse birdlife, Gorongosa is an ideal place to view some of Africa’s most remarkable birds. The park’s mixture of landscapes, including forest, wetlands and Mount Gorongosa, offers a habitat for the hundreds of bird species which, thankfully, have largely survived the destruction of former times. Among the significant birds to be found here are the green-headed oriole, Swynnerton’s robin and Anchieta’s tchagra. So get your binoculars ready.

Seafood aside, Mozambique’s signature dish is matapa – especially popular in the south but also available elsewhere. The basis of matapa is cassava leaves cooked in peanut sauce, usually served with prawns. Portuguese-style white bread rolls called pão (pronounced ‘pow’) are delicious freshly baked and taste even better when they form the basis of a prego roll – a pão filled with steak covered in that famous peri-peri sauce. Mozambique used to be one of the world’s largest producers of cashew nuts and this is still evident in some of its dishes. You can grab a bag of whole cashews from a street seller; or you could try caril de castanha, a cashew nut stew, or bolo polana, a cake made from cashews. Thanks to the tropical climate, there is a generous array of fresh fruit including papayas, coconuts, mangoes and avocados. Making the most of Mozambique’s bountiful crop of avocados is one of the nation’s most popular dishes, salada pera de abacate (avocado and tomato salad). This simple but tasty dish is often served with a lemon dressing.
