This beautiful walking tour along the Indian Ocean is an utterly cleansening experience: you exercise, meet new people, exchange opinions, clear the cobwebs in your head and generally relax. We even saw whales, hippoes and zebras! This is not a luxury trip but one during which you connect with nature and people. Just go with the flow and enjoy. Mussiro Trips caters for your basic needs like transport, food and tents and I was very grateful that they offered such a tour in an environment where most locals only travel to visit relatives and most expats prefer luxury accommodation. This trip made me FEEL Mozambique and I can’t wait for a second trip which covers the remaining distance down to Ponta d’Ouro. Khanimambo, equipa de Mussiro Trips!
