The big, ever persent Limpopo River flows into the warm Indian ocean 180 km North of the Capital Maputo, thus making it very easily accessible by plane & vehicle. Accommodation is provided in Zongoene Lodge (www.zongoenelodge.co.za) or the camp sites available.
The area is reasonable remote from other establishments thus making fishing and private beaches much more explicit and private. The river mouth is home to local fishermen and clients relaxing and sea launching is done through the mouth.
The area has cycad forests, the magnificent lighthouse look and moonrises and sunsets over sea and land to die for.
4x4 trails, quad routes and river cruises fills up the rest of this sub–tropical remote paradise.
Our Ski boat with 3 skippers is very well equipped and well maintained. 2 crew and 6 anglers enjoy action fishing with 4 rods max in the water. The sea bed (fishing area) just a few minites out of the mouth, is filled with reefs varying in depth, making fishing easy and very rewarding. Here it is always warm, pleasant and a cool southerly wind presents to enjoy the perfect sundowner. Book your place.
Whale watching is done in the winter months from July to end of October when the whales are migrating down to Hermanus etc searching the colder waters. It is arguably As good as down south.
Diving is also done in the winter months. Water temp stays above 22 celsius, we have many reefs and even our own wreck or 2!!
For relaxing - just the plain good old booze cruise north up the river seeing the sunset ? eissh!!
