Kosi Bay to Ponta d’Ouro

I’d heard that one of my friends from school days was working at Tembe Elephant Park and it wasn’t unreasonably far away so we drove up to see if it would be possible to visit. It wasn’t. Wayne was out at a meeting all day and the park could only be entered by 4x4 vehicle. Plan two was to go to Kosi Bay. We got there and not too much further when we realised that the only way to the beach was by 4x4. We stopped in a B&B / Campsite with OTT stone cladding to think things over. It was afternoon
already. Through discussions with the barmaid we met two European girls who offered us a lift to Ponta D'Oura, a town just over the Mozambique border. Great idea. So we left the car in a secure lock up at the border and did the 4x4 trip to Ponta.
We found a campsite right on the beach and could not help feel rather exited by the wild beautiful beach that seemed to go on forever. Well. It went all the way to Tanzania for sure.
