Mozambique � land of land-mines and amputees � not so! After 12 years of democratic government, the Country is now up and running as a safe tourist destination. Still in need of road and building maintenance, the Tourist Infrastructure is improving daily and Hotels and the beach-side Lodges are now very much in demand from the South Africans. Europeans, however are thin on the ground.

For top quality accommodation with well organised activities such as Salt Water Fly Fishing, Game Fishing and Scuba Diving, try the Bazaruto Archipelago, a National Park and totally free from the detritus of the African Mainland! Benguerra Island and Bazaruto Island have four luxurious and very different Lodges between them (one even offers sand dune boarding as an activity!).

The �Idyllic Islands off Africa� programme (from Destination Portugal 01993-773269 www.africanislands.co.uk) offers a seven day holiday at Bazaruto Lodge departing from Heathrow (via Johannesburg with SAA) in May at �1,576 per person based on two sharing a Garden View Chalet on full board including connecting flight to Vilanculos and small �plane out to Bazaruto Island and transfers.
