Tofo Travel Guide
Quite distinct from the wild African safaris that Mozambique offers to the travelers, Tofo displays another attraction, a spit of shoreline famous as one of the most desired holiday spots for tourists around the world. It offers an ocean safari where visitors can possibly dive with the giant whale sharks and manta rays, swim with the dolphins and get in touch with a huge variety of ocean life down to the unspoilt seafloor.
A tiny town hemmed in the southern coast of Mozambique, Tofo has a shore that embraces the expanse of the Indian Ocean and the Ponto do Barra's peninsula of the Inhambane Province. The discovery of the full potential of Tofo's tropical beaches dotted with coconut palm groves and stylish lodges has created a sudden wave in the tourism scene of the town, and the spot is flocked not only by local holiday makers but also by a throng of European beachcombers and divers wanting to experience one great "drop-off" of a lifetime to one of the magnificent reefs of Tofo.
Other than the stunning breadth of its eight kilometer white sand beach, Tofo also boasts of grassy dunes perfect for a morning walk with the cool breeze of the ocean touching one's tired body, which seems to erase all the worries in just a few seconds.
Be it a family get-together, couples wanting some fun-filled adventure or backpackers desiring some sun-drenched chill, Tofo can possibly grant those little pleasures in abundance in addition to providing some delectable seafood on the table to savor before heading for a good night's sleep in one of the many chalets tucked along the coast.
For those seeking a vibrant evening, there are great bars and restaurants in the area where they can lounge and sip local beer or cocktail while sampling the local prawns and lobster displayed on the seafood bar.
Possible jump-off points after a trip to Tofo are the Barazuto Archipelago, just north of The Coast and the beaches of Praia de Zavala, Baia dos Cocos and Pomene. Visitors could also take a short trip to Inhambane which is a historical town and the second oldest town in Mozambique. Other interesting activities include visiting the souks and a dhow ride in the waterfront.
