All the vehicles will be issued with two way radios for the duration of the trip, this way can stay in contact with each other.

 

Day 2:

Today after a good nights rest and a hearty breakfast we will set off for the Ponta border post. It will not be necessary to refuel as we would have on the way to Kosi bay the day before. On reaching the border post at Ponta we will deal with the formality and enter Mozambique. On our  five-hour sandy drive through the Maputo Elephant Reserve, I'm sure we will catch a glimpse of the countries last wild elephants. On reaching the village of Santa Maria, we will leave our vehicle safely in the local lodge's parking area. Then we will board the boats to Inyaka Island. We will say with our hosts from Indigo Charters Camp  for the next three nights. The camp consists of a number of two bed grass and thatch chalets with beds bedding and mosquito nets, and there are communal ablution facilities. There is a central fire area and dinning room where we will have dinner.

 

Day 3-4:

We will spend the next two days just relaxing on unspoiled clean beaches. We can even do some snorkelling on beautiful corral gardens. We will even have time to meander through the islands narrow roads and taste some of the local beers at roadside cafés. We will be taken everywhere by boat and in that way get to explore Inyaka's neighbouring islands and get a good feel for this magnificent coast. We will be treated to a magnificent "eat as much as you like" seafood buffet at one of the quaint local Portuguese restaurants. Arrangements can be maid to go fishing or diving before hand.
