Beautiful beach and fantastic guide - Carina was a great guide, she had thought of all the details and was happy to tailor the experience to my needs. The beach at ponta de oro is stunning. Carina takes care of shade, lunch and made sure I got on to the dolphin swimming trip. It was fantastic. It was also interesting to learn more about Mozambique from Carina during our drive to and from ponta de oro. I really enjoyed this trip and highly recommend Carina. I hope I can book another trip with her soon.

Ponta de Ouro Beach - Carina was a brilliant guide, polite, friendly and punctual. She supplied snacks, wifi and gave me a great overview of the city of Maputo and along the drive to the beach through the National Park. She always made sure I was OK and found a great spot for lunch and a few beers on the beach. I ended up using her again the next day on another tour as she made me feel so at home. Thanks for everything!!!

A beautiful day - A great day at the beach. Carina came to pick me up from my hotel as planned. And she was attentive all day. The road crosses the National Park and the early departure allowed us to come across many wild animals, including majestic giraffes just a stone's throw from the car. The previous days Carina had sent me a list of possible activities in Ponta de Oro to make the stay even more pleasant. The restaurant chosen on the beach was great. In shorts, a perfect day!

Great road trip to Ponta - Mozambique is am amazing country and people are very kind and Benny was its great representative . She speaks great English , knows a lot about the country and is a great driver . I was solo so the car was big enough for me . I arrived by a ship in Maputo, Benny picked me up just outside the port and after a city tour we went to Ponta do Ouro. The road is brand new and beautiful , you will cross the National reserve and I was lucky to see zebras, monkeys and even a Giraffe just by the side of the road . I stayed one night in Ponta as I wanted to go swimming with dolphins , and the tours go out usually very early . Unfortunately by the time we found them , somebody got sick so we had to go back on shore . It means I will definitely need to come back again .
