fish with fearsome teeth is a major draw card to the area it is advisable
to engage the services of a professional guide who knows the fish, the
water and the conditions. Book through Nkomazi Safari's. Early booking
is essential.

astounded to find such an amazing collection so far from a major centre.

cars in pristine condition on the floor with some 28 awaiting restorations.

that specialize in sea food. 35 kms north of Maputo, Macaneta and Marracuene,

stunning views and waterfalls are everywhere. Spend the day exploring
the area and enjoying pancakes and other delights. You will pass through
Sabie, Graskop and Pilgrims Rest, which all have their beginnings from
the gold rush of the 1800's. Some of the highlights in the area (Panorama
