In August 2009 I was leading a small delegation to Mozambique. Of the four of us, I was the only one that had been to Africa before and one of us had never traveled outside of the USA. Because there would be a lot for the others to absorb, I decided that it would be better to find a place... more

Beautiful rooms, stunning views of the water and Maputo skyline, right by the beach and just a short ferry ride away from Maputo.

The staff is friendly, the ambiance peaceful, and nothing can match the... more
