Der Limpopo-Nationalpark in Mozambique, der inzwischen mit dem Krugerpark zu einem Transfrontierpark verbunden ist, ist eine recht traurige Erscheinung. Wildtiere gibt es fast nicht, daf\u00fcr laufen K\u00fche durch die Gegend und man f\u00e4hrt kilometerweit durch bewirtschaftetes Farmland. Okay, Mozambique ist auch nicht ber\u00fchmt f\u00fcr sein Wildlife, sondern f\u00fcr seine Str\u00e4nde. Und da wollen wir schlie\u00dflich hin.<\/p>\n<p>Schon unterwegs gef\u00e4llt uns die Atmosph\u00e4re hier. Es ist wieder viel afrikanischer, mit einem gro\u00dfen Schuss Karibik. Die Vegetation ist tropisch und \u00fcppig, die Portugiesen haben h\u00fcbsche, zierliche Kolonialbauten hinterlassen, die malerisch zerfallen, die Stra\u00dfen (bis auf die Hauptroute) sind holperig, alles ist ein bi\u00dfchen unaufger\u00e4umter als in S\u00fcdafrika, die Frauen tragen wieder K\u00f6rbe auf dem Kopf, sie singen, und irgendwie h\u00e4ngt \u00fcber allem rhythmische Musik und ein w\u00fcrziger Duft.<\/p>\n<p>We have been told about the rainy season here and our first sighting of the wonderful beach of Tofo that we have been dreaming about is in the pouring rain. Lucky we manage to find a good place to camp behind the huge sand dunes and the next morning we are rewarded with beautiful weather, palm trees, sandy beach and warm Indian ocean water with waves that are excellent for body surfing.<\/p>\n<p>Tofo is known for the whale sharks that frequently visit these waters. It\u2019s one of our dreams to see those huge plankton eating sea creatures and swim with them. Together with our new travelling friends Tom and Dagmar we join an ocean safari group. But it\u2019s not our lucky day. We spent two hours searching and basically saw nothing. The next day we gave it another try and again nothing. The whale sharks will stay on our list.<\/p>\n<p>Tom and Dagmar with their big truck are also Trans Africa travelers and we decide to travel together for the next days. On our way south to Maputo the bad luck strikes again and the truck gets a flat tire. We witness a professional tire change that ends with two local boys having the day of their lives. During the tire change Tom and Dagmar decide they do not want to take along their two bicycles anymore, and two boys who just walk by where chosen to be the new owners. The boys at first have no clue what these white people are up to and it become clear they have never ridden a bicycle. After a bit practicing they (now smiling) end up going home with probably the most valuable present they ever got. We hope that one day they will be popular as probably the first bicycle taxi drivers of their town.<\/p>\n<p>Maputo has a strange combination of the old colonial flair and rundown communist architecture. We walk through the old city center and enjoy the liveliness of the town. We are surprised to see some architecture by Mister Eiffel (the one from the tower in Paris) here; a house totally made of steel and the steel dome of the very beautiful central train station.<\/p>\n<p>Just on the other side of the border to South Africa is the famous Kruger National Park, our next stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one is in german and english&#8230;\u00a0 Durch den n\u00f6rdlichen Teil des Kruger-Nationalparks reisen wir nach Mozambique.
