Limpopo Mouth & Zongoene (2)

It's amazing to imagine that in the 1940s this river was navigable all the way to Xai-Xai, and used frequently by small coasters.
Then a coaster ironically named the Limpopo, ran aground and blocked the passage.

Foz do Limpopo gradually filled up and the mouth narrowed until it was a mere 100 m wide.
Fruitless efforts were made to stabilise the dunes with casuarina trees, often planted as windbreaks.

Where to stay: ZONGOENE LODGE, south of the Limpopo Mouth, was devastated in the 2000 floods, but has been restored, and is the best bet for accomodation at Limpopo Mouth.
