| We stayed at your lodge from 29 Dec– 10 Jan
and enjoyed every day! We were a party of 6 and the accommodation
suited us perfectly. The beds were made up so nicely with flowers,
we felt special from the moment we arrived. The house clean and
had everything we needed with the most beautiful view of the sea
and Islands right in front of our house! The pool at the lodge was
a welcome relief of the heat and was always sparkling clean! The
staff was super friendly and always ready to help or bring a drink
to from the bar to the pool.
There was a storm approaching the first evening and we decided
to have dinner at the restaurant at the lodge. They prepared fresh
fish caught earlier that day which was delicious! Vilanculos had
a terrible storm that night with heavy rain and strong winds the
whole night. The pool was green the morning after but by lunch time
it was sparkling again. The men went deep sea fishing twice and
could not stop talking about how they enjoyed it! They caught lots
of fish and again the restaurant prepared it excellently for everyone
to enjoy. The lodge arraigned Horse riding for me and my friend
while our husbands were out fishing. I can definitely recommend
the Horse Safari on the beach, it was very special and we had a
lovely time. The lodge had a fabulous new year’s party and
all the guests joined in the celebrations! The Island-trips was
definitely a highlight! We visited Bangwe, Magaruque and Bazarutu
Islands. The lodge arranged a traditional Dhow boat for us to go
to Bangwe Island. It was smooth sailing all the way. We had a lovely
lunch of grilled fish and salads prepared by the lodge chef on the
island! We saw the most beautiful sea stars in the shallow water
and played on the beach and in the lovely warm turquoise water all
day!
Our trip to Two Mile Reef and Bazaruto Island was extra special.
We stopped at Deadmans Island on the way where our friends got engaged!
This was very romantic and we all celebrated! Two Mile reef is definitely
the best snorkelling experience you can have, this is highly recommended.
We had a lovely braai on Bazaruto and was fortunate enough to see
a DUGONG! This was definitely my best moment!
Vilanculos is a very special place to my husband and myself. It
is like no other place in Mozambique. Do not expect a beach with
waves and umbrellas, expect a beach that changes colour every hour,
dhows sailing in the shallow water and vistas to dream about. This
is a please to relax and enjoy the slow pace of a traditional fishing
village, see how the fisher men go out with their dhows in the morning
and return when the tide comes in. In the evening watch how the
moon rises over the sea and look at the most beautiful stars above
your head. Visit the Islands (which is a marine reserve) and enjoy
the colourful tropical fish and corals (there is a day fee payable
when visiting the islands which goes to the reservation of the corals
and islands), swim in the clearest water and walk on the powder
white-unspoiled beaches, collect pansy shells and start to plan
your next trip, because if you have been to Vilanculos and Casa
Chibububo Lodge, you will be back to share this piece of paradise
with family and friends. This was our 8th visit to Casa Chibububo
and we will most definitely return! Thank you for everything! |
