Baobab Beach

A soul calming view of azure seas.
Ok, so this place is right on, no really, right on the beach. (Yes that’s a shell under your pillow.) The warm water is postcard perfect and filled with all kinds of curious creatures. Palm trees and baobabs dance in the gentle breeze while happy faces dance around the rustic cocktail bar. Need we say more? Hammocks? Yes. Dhow trips to the islands? Yes. Daily flights from Durbs, Swaziland and Jozi and buses from Maputo? Yes. See you there.
