Into the Wild


From Vilanculos we decided to make our way to Biera, the second biggest city in Mozambique. After unsuccessfully attempting to draw money, we put what we had into the cruisers fuel tank, and managed to leave at around 3:30 in the afternoon. In hindsight it probably wasn't the wisest decision, but we needed to leave that place - for Darren's sake. 

As we drove inland the landscape really began to change, and we soon found ourselves on a road that looked more like it belonged somewhere in the Kruger Park. As the sun set, along with the cruisers fuel guage, we decided to pull over and drive off into the bush where we would spend our first night camping wild. 

We spent the next day in Biera where we were able to sort out our money, food and fuel situation. Later on we drove off to the Gorongrosa National Park where we found a really nice bush camp run by a young afrikaans guy who introduced himself as Sakki? He turned out to be quite a legend and we just sat back and enjoyed camping out with the lions and elephants... No fences in Mozam...
