Travel Vlog: Xai Xai (Ocean Star and Cafe Pescador) ????????| Mozambique Road Trip Series Ep 7

Xai Xai was a treat. We only scratched it's surface as Xai Xai is much bigger than we thought. Buzzling town with the cleanest beaches. Amazing seafood with a beautiful view. A lot of cashew and coconut trees. The tar road back had quite a lot of potholes, so drive cautiously. The gravel (scenic) route was damaged badly due to a lot of rain, but loved driving past small villages. Visit Xai Xai and give us your feedback.

Beach Time in Xai Xai Mozambique - Beautiful Scenery of the Sinkhole in 2022

We are visiting the beautiful coastal area of Praia do Xai-Xai in Mozambique, a wonderful experience of the rustic vibrancy that the Mozambique culture offers. Our family is here with local friends, some born here, and will be sharing some of our experience in the next few videos. Mozambique is a fascinating country with beautiful people. We have visited several communities, experiencing the traditional culture, food and agriculture, an incredible opportunity to learn as a family.

This video is a scenic overview of one of the beaches near us, known as the Sinkhole. This sinkhole is a dangerous natural feature, as the water channels under the rocks on either side. It sucks and pumps water aggressively, even when the sea is calm, but as long as you keep away from it, it is a stunning place to swim and snorkel.

We have been here from late February, so it is hot and humid, but the warm Indian ocean water brings well needed relief.

Enjoy!

Praia De Chongoene, Xai-Xai, Mozambique

Welcome to yet another pristine beach in Mozambique! This is Praia De Chongoene. An immaculate stretch of coastline in Xai-Xai with prominent rock formations forming a natural barrier to the waves.

Here locals can be observed foraging for black mussels & an incredible underwater splurge of colour has formed in and around the rocks. The natural tidal pools are warm, crystal clear & blue!

Chongoene Hotel Ruins, Xai-Xai, Mozambique

Surrounded by pristine untouched coastline, we were amazed to find out that further along the beach is the Chongoene Hotel Ruins.

Very little is known and has been documented about this hotel. It was reputed to be one of the largest luxury hotels in Africa at the time (1960s) evident by its sheer prominence even in its current state. It was suddenly vacated following Mozambique's liberation from Portuguese rule.

From what we could see, it has an Olympic size pool, a massive dining hall and ball rooms, over 110units and sits on apparently 12000 ha of land

It has an eery atmosphere. The attention to detail was incredible with some of the decorative tiles still in tact to this day. A unique & very different experience for us.

Xai-Xai, Mozambique

How about a guided walking tour around the city of Xai-Xai, the capital city of the Gaza Province in Mozambique?

We met a warm local, Sergio, who took us on a guide walking tour of Xai-Xai. Being the capital of the Gaza Province, the presence of Government buildings immediately caught our attention.

Alongside the banks of the Limpopo River, the buildings have Portuguese influence. A walking tour is highly recommended instead of simply driving or passing through the city of Xai-Xai.

Wenela Tidal Pool, Xai-Xai, Mozambique

Wenela Tidal Pool is a short two kilometre walk south of the main beach in Xai-Xai. A natural tunnel and blowhole links the tidal pool to the sea as sea caves form landward annd upward. What an incredible natural wonder to marvel at!
