Although Mozambique Island is reputed to be a surprisingly healthy place, precautions against malaria are essential. Africa Tours offer packages which include Nampula, the Island and nearby Chocas-mar, one of Mozambique's most beautiful beaches. Facilities Bring your own mask, flippers, tropical wet-suit and fishing gear. Dives Range in depth from 10m to 25m. Experienced divers will notice that they are untouched - many have never been dived.
Wreck diving is an added attraction.
Bookings Contact Mozambique Travel Centre, see details above. On board there was a loud, red-faced South African who was so drunk he decided we had arrived in Maputo before we had left Joburg International. Those were the days of bandits, bedlam and bombed bridges which cut off the island from mainland access for twenty years. Built in 1960, the structure of the bridge has become unsafe for large vehicles and so reinforced concrete pillars now prevent access by vehicles wider than 1.93m. So measure yours now if contemplating an overland trip including the Island.
