Arriving at the delightful resort of Rio Savane
The Entrance
The Resort
The crowded beach !
The Rio Savane road can be difficult after rain.
The road to Chinizua wasn’t too good either …..
And it rained again !
Before you get to Chinizua you pass through the metropolis of Muanza
Alex Masterson and Chris Wall entering what is left of the Chinizua forest
First they “Slash” !!
Then they “Burn” – absolutely horrific !!
A bigger view – compare the tree far left to the Land Rover !
All for the timber !
Stag Horn Ferns grow to incredible sizes – this is the size of a large desk
This is what land mines do to trains !
The cost of war is high !
The cost of de-mining is also very high……
There is some magnificent miombo woodland around Muanza
On the way to Mount Gorongosa you cross the war damaged Pungwe River bridge
You can see Mount Gorongosa from miles away !
The top of the mountain is rugged
And beautiful !
And the view is like – Wow !!
And proof that we were actually up there …..
The wonderful hardwood “Panga Panga” (Millettia stuhlmannii) is common on the mountain
We sayed at “The Big Tree Motel” in Vunduzi
Central Business District – Vunduzi
Borasus Palm trunks welcome you to Gorongosa National Park
Punctures were a big problem
The Gorongosa flood plain is awsome !
And after all that memory jogging stuff I guess I need to get back to Moçambique !!
Any takers ?
I’m up for a jaul but I suspect Mrs BC may have other idea’s on that one.
Great photos, they truly tell a story 🙂
