Camping in the North of Mozambique
Been browsing the topics re camping in Mozambique, but the information I came across is quite outdated so I am sure things have possibly changed since then. In some cases, hope so.
Question please. We've been to Moz (south of Maputo) camping on a few occasions and now wish to travel north of Maputo, camping as well (if possible) .............. BUT, our dear Isuzu 4x2 has died (engine ceased), so until we can get this fixed, we're stuck with a normal sedan vehicle. So, my question is as follows:
Are there any camping sites that are accessible using a normal sedan vehicle?
If so, what are the recommendations thereof.
thanks in advance,
Mel
Hi Mel and wellcome to the forum.
There are indeed campsites you can reach with a car, if you have reasonable ground clearance and your tyres are not to skinny. You will also need to deflate your wheels on some roads, so will need a decent wheelpump.
Have a look at our website www.flipentilla.com and also the pictures on our Picasa albums for more details. With the exception of Pomene, you will be ok with a 2X4 drive.
With just a sedan vehicle I would think you are limited to travel up to Bileane. It is tar road right up to the gate of the camping area but inside the resort about 300m travel at the most is only sea sand. Think you will be okay if you deflate the tires to 0.8 bar. It will bring you up to the campsite at least.

Met die voertuig wat julle wil gebruik kan dit n probleem wees veral as hy nie ewenaar slot het nie.
Hoof roetes tot by Inhambane is teerpad maar daar is mooi plekke 2 tot 5 km van die pad wat sand is en jy dalk kan staan tot hulp opdaag.
Tesy daar nog voertuie saam is wat 4 x4 is wat jou kan help, dan is jy reg.
At this point in time, we are in no position to replace our Isuzu. And as avid campers, this is the hardest to accept.
We now drive a Toyota Etios Sedan, (ground clearance not the greatest) so it would appear that our camping trips to Mozi needs to be put on a back burner until such time as we can get ourselves another 4x2....
thanks all for the feedback, much appreciated
Hi Melanie.
If you are still keen to go, have a look at Zavora Lodge. The lodge is accessible on a 15 km dirt road (not sand). Some places slippery when wet.
We used to go to Zavora regularly and saw standard vehicles there all the time.
Check their website.
Here is one for the books. Got this advice Just today
For what it's worth.
Take a supply of syringes with needles / alcohol wipes & intravenous drip kits with. At least you will know the sterilisation status and not have second / third time round medical equipment used on you…
These days a teeny-tiny bit more slightly quicker....
The Jan, 2016 Go magazine has an article about the area you are enquiring about around Ihambane and Barra area with things to do.
When circumstances are better look at purchasing a 4x4 which will get you to many more camp sites than a 4x2 with diff loc.
Hi
camped in Moz a few times with a Jetta 2 and no problems. Bilene just stay near the gate , Xai Xai almost on the beach, Tofo at Nordines in a chalet on the beach almost as cheap as camping , Morrongulo also on the beach but not in rainy season , Josef e Tina in Vilanculos almost on the beach and lastly Goody Villas in Inhassorro on the beach and best grass sites in Moz. We managed to stay at all these campsites with no problems and only had to get our trailer towed out of Morrungulo because it was too steep for our car and Zippa trailer.We only go out of season and between late April to mid June and have always had a great time.

This information you have all provided me is much appreciated and invaluable.
I now have quite a bit to work to do.
Let the research begin.
Yay .. hopefully soon, Moz here we come :)
Would love to go to the restocked Gorongoza national park one day
