Hi there
My brother and I are looking to travelling up to Maputo via Johannesburg around the 18th of December and then up the coast to Beira via Xia Xia, Inhambane and Vilanculos.
From there we would like to go up to Blantyre or Mangochi if there is a direct route to hook up with the Llala for a bit.
The plan is then to grab a City Liner from Blantyre back to Johannesburg.
We realise that its gonna be the hottest time of the year but what the hell.
We are doing this on the cheap so any suggestions on cheap transport & accommodation will be appreciated. Busses vs hitching and that sort of thing. We are looking at a 20 day trip with a budget of around $500 each excluding the travel to & from Mozambique.
Any advice will be appreciated - I have travelled a bit in Thailand and the UK but little bro is pretty much a virgin. Since we're South African the culture shock wont be too big - and we definately want to avoid our compatriots with the big 4X4's!
