Amazing Azura

Days 3, 4 and 5 were spent on the extraordinary island called Benguerra in Mozambique. I flew from Cape Town to Johannesburg and then to Vilankulos where we met our helicopter to whisk us to Azura. The island is incredibly unique and special. In places it reminded me of the Galapagos and others parts like Hawaii. We experienced an island tour which was very fascinating and humbling at the same time. We saw how the local villagers live and we got to stop at the school and meet the children. The locals are incredible warm and genuine and I just fell in love with them.

The sand on the beach is so soft and the colors of the water are brilliant colors of blue. When the tide goes out you can walk for just about a mile. The locals will go out in the morning and walk to where the tide ends and dig for oysters and crabs.

Azura is an amazing resort. It reminds me a bit of Le Taha and The Viceroy Rivera Maya but certainly unque and special in its own way. We spent a day snorkeling and climbed enormous sands dunes (I need to get back into shape). We had excellent visibility snorkeling and saw a huge variety of colorful fish and coral. The resort had a gorgeous private lunch on an amazing beach near where we snorkeled.  The set up was just incredible.

My last activity was riding Vumba – a beautiful white horse. He was such gentle and sweet boy. I haven't ridden

in years and it was the perfect place to get back in the saddle.

Tonight our group is spending the night at the Intercontinental Johannesburg and then off to Tanda Tula!
