Praia De Chongoene, Xai-Xai, Mozambique

Welcome to yet another pristine beach in Mozambique! This is Praia De Chongoene. An immaculate stretch of coastline in Xai-Xai with prominent rock formations forming a natural barrier to the waves.

Here locals can be observed foraging for black mussels & an incredible underwater splurge of colour has formed in and around the rocks. The natural tidal pools are warm, crystal clear & blue!

Chongoene Hotel Ruins, Xai-Xai, Mozambique

Surrounded by pristine untouched coastline, we were amazed to find out that further along the beach is the Chongoene Hotel Ruins.

Very little is known and has been documented about this hotel. It was reputed to be one of the largest luxury hotels in Africa at the time (1960s) evident by its sheer prominence even in its current state. It was suddenly vacated following Mozambique's liberation from Portuguese rule.

From what we could see, it has an Olympic size pool, a massive dining hall and ball rooms, over 110units and sits on apparently 12000 ha of land

It has an eery atmosphere. The attention to detail was incredible with some of the decorative tiles still in tact to this day. A unique & very different experience for us.

Xai-Xai, Mozambique

How about a guided walking tour around the city of Xai-Xai, the capital city of the Gaza Province in Mozambique?

We met a warm local, Sergio, who took us on a guide walking tour of Xai-Xai. Being the capital of the Gaza Province, the presence of Government buildings immediately caught our attention.

Alongside the banks of the Limpopo River, the buildings have Portuguese influence. A walking tour is highly recommended instead of simply driving or passing through the city of Xai-Xai.

Wenela Tidal Pool, Xai-Xai, Mozambique

Wenela Tidal Pool is a short two kilometre walk south of the main beach in Xai-Xai. A natural tunnel and blowhole links the tidal pool to the sea as sea caves form landward annd upward. What an incredible natural wonder to marvel at!
