Day 1:
We Leave
Johannesburg/Pretoria on route to Kosi Bay on the
Kwazulu Natal north coast. This is where we
spend our first night camping in a comfortable
campsites of the KZN Wildlife Department. Here the
tour leader/guide will give you a run down of
our route and itinerary for the next few days. 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:
We will
spend the next day 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.
Day 4:
After
breakfast we pack up and cross back to the mainland
where we retrieve our vehicles and to return to Kosi
Bay. Sadly after breakfast we head off home until
our next adventure together.
