Between the Limpopo River and Inharrime the coastline of Mozambique
is littered with freshwater and salt water lakes. Many of the lodges in
this area are still fairly remote and require a 4x4 to access, but there
are a couple of lodges at Chidengule which can easily be reached from
the main EN-1 in normal vehicles and which can offer a great overnight
stop or place to relax for a couple of days.
The beaches in this area are stunning and the are will appeal to all
nature lovers. The lakes, particularly Nhambavale lake at Ciidenguele
is ideally suited to water sports although at the present time you will
need to take all your ownequipment with you as there are few organised
activities in the area. The Xai Xai area is a great place for fishing,
fishing charters are provided at Zongoene Lodge (situated on the Limpopo
river mouth just south of Xai-Xai) but other than this you would be best
to take along all your own equipement and boats although NKwanzi and Nhabavale
Lodge in the Chidenguele area may also be able to assist at certain times
of year.
