Note1: Although we didn't do it this time, you can add Vilancoulos and the Bazaruto Islands,  about 5 hours north of Inhambane to your itinerary too, especially  for divers.

Note 2 : D and J added the Drakensberg to this itinerary, we headed back to Joburg.

Note 3 : Shortest duration for part 1 and 2 : 14 nights and this is really not too rushed.

Note 4: If you skip part 1, you could enter Mozambique at Komatiepoort but Joburg to Belene would be a very long day of driving and your trip would be 10 nights.
