 Mozambique
is emerging as one of Africa's most exciting, new
tourist destinations. Thousands of miles of its
idyllic coastline embrace the Indian Ocean. The
extensive coral reefs hold a dazzling display of
tropical fish and marine life, making Mozambique an
ideal destination for diving and snorkeling. It may
come as a surprise, but Mozambique has been
described by many as a fascinating destination,
well worth a visit. Now is a great time to get a
'sneak preview' of this cosmopolitan and lovely
venue. Despite a 20-year internal war (which ended
in 1992), Mozambique is still a beautiful and
exciting destination. Mozambicans are putting the
past behind them and are rebuilding their country
at a remarkable pace. In 2002, about 400,000
tourists visited Mozambique and an annual growth
rate of 10% is anticipated. Old-timers say hat
Maputo is rapidly regaining some of its old charm.

This unique tour will take
you to Maputo, the cosmopolitan capital city of
Mozambique. Formerly named Lourenco Marques, Maputo
has wide avenues lined with red acacia and lilac
jacaranda flowering trees. It offers innumerable
historical, cultural and scenic spots. We are bound
to enjoy the full day tour of Maputo, which will
include visits to the Praca da Independencia to see
the Catholic Cathedral, an imposing white building
with a beautiful tower and the Council Chambers, a
beautiful neoclassical building. We will also visit
the Railway Station designed by A. G. Eiffel (as in
the Eiffel Tower) in 1910 and The Fortress, one of
the oldest buildings in Maputo and now the Military
Museum. We will visit several other museums that
will give us a touch of the vibrant cultural
heritage that is so uniquely Mozambican.
In Maputo, our
accommodations will be at the Hotel Polana, set
amidst swaying palms and landscaped gardens right
in the heart of the city. There will be plenty of
time to shop and bargain for souvenirs at the
various marketplaces around town, and to possibly
take in some of Maputo's nightlife. We will also
visit the lovely, white-sand beach resort on Inhaca
Island. Inhaca Island is a small, inhabited island,
just off the coast of Mozambique, about 25 miles
from Mapauto. It has a wealth of breathtaking
beaches, coral reefs and exotic marine life. If
images of lazy afternoon siestas and azure blue
seas fill your thoughts, chances are you may be
dreaming of Inhaca Island. We will have lunch at
the Inhaca Island Resort, a 4-star facility
situated among coconut palms in a tropical setting.
We return to Maputo at about 5:00 P. M. One day
will be set aside for you to explore Mozambique on
your own. All along the way, we will have
opportunities to interact with the people of
Mozambique, known for their warmth, explore the
culture or just relax at the beach or by the pool.
I can assure you that you will have wonderful
memories of Mozambique.
The following are included
in this tour: Round trip air fare between
Johannesburg and Maputo, 4 nights accommodations at
Polana Hotel on double occupancy basis, breakfast
daily, full day city tour of Maputo, excursion by
boat to Inhaca Island and lunch, airport/hotel
transfers. NOTE: Participants in this tour will
depart from Johannesburg on Saturday, May 17 on a
South African Airways flight at 9:30 A.
M.
