Tofo – A Backpacker’s Beach Paradise in Mozambique

September 2nd, 2009 by Hakon Kavli

I thought it was time to share a little secret with all of our readers. It is my favorite beach in Africa. It is not overly crowded, but it still has enough people to share the fun with. It’s not great for surfing, but the place is so relaxed that you won’t even feel like surfing in the first place. It is just perfect for what I think a beach in Mozambique should be used for: Forgetting about your regular life and just relax and have fun with friends and other backpackers. The beach is called Tofo, and is located a good day’s drive north of Maputo.

Travel in Africa, especially safaris, can often be very expensive, but here is a quick guide to help you budget and reduce the costs of your Africa vacation. This guide is not for you who prefer luxurious resorts, marble hot tubs and air conditioned Land Rovers. Well, we all might prefer that, but this is a guide for you who just can’t afford it. There are plenty of ways to cut the costs of your African safari, you just have to be willing to be roughing it a little bit, and maybe step out of your own comfort zone a couple of times. But even though your vacation might not be as relaxing and luxurious as you had dreamed off, it will definitely be adventurous, exciting and full of unique experiences!

New Blogger: I’m Tim and I’m Traveling to East Africa!

July 7th, 2009 by Tim Steve

Hi,

Looks like I am the first one to register as a “Fellow Travel Blogger” on this sweet Africa blog. So I will just give a short introduction to who I am and where I am traveling:

My name is Tim, I am an American citizen, but feel more like a World citizen. I have traveled all my life and my next trip will be to East Africa. I have never traveled in Africa before, so if other travelers have any advice for me that would be awesome! I haven’t set up a detailed plan for my trip other than a few “must-do’s” like the safaris, etc. I imagine the end result will be something like:

Flying into Nairobi and travel from there to Tanzania. Safari either in Kenya, Tanzania or both. After this I will probably be going down to the coast, maybe even to Zanzibar. I have also been considering Uganda and Rwanda instead of Tanzania’s coast / Zanzibar, but I don’t know much about those countries yet. So basically all I need now is some suggestions from people with more travel experience in those areas than what I have!

And I will keep you all updated on how my plan develops, and hopefully I will write some thrilling blog posts from my trip when I’m over there!

Thanks,

-Tim
