Location: Ponta do Ouro South Mozambique
Ponta Do Ouro - a small village packed wiith big fun for everyone.
In the very south of Mozambique lies this beach town that has long been a
favourite destintion for South African holidaymakers and with its beautiful
beaches, great diving, fun fishing and welcome atmosphere you should also
make some plans to visit soon.
I will be honest with you, its not a case of just jumping into the car and
driving there ... it is of course a little more complicated.
First PLEASE NOTE Ponta is in Mozambique, and if travelling from another country
(including South Africa) you will need your own passport.
There are no flights to Ponta
there are two directions to get to Ponta ...
From Maputo you first need to take the ferry across to Catembe (in 5 years
there may be a bridge) this goes every two hours and takes 30 minutes.
On the other side you have about a 4 hour drive to Ponta, the road starts
quite nicely with some tar then gravel but descends into sand for the last
third so its 4 Wheel drive territory only! its not difficult sand but your
BMW wont cut it..
Also be warned there are No signposts.
