Mozambique Paradise Found!
Resort & Accomodation Available
Kay de Cope, a paradise resort found just south of Quissico, a quaint little village between the towns of Chidenguele and Inharrime. The town is quite a bit above sea level and has an absolutely spectacular view of 2 massive lagoons (Lake Quissico and Lake Munhanze) and the beautiful blue ocean which completes the horizon - makes for a very rewarding site indeed! Make sure you have your camera to capture this moment!
To purchase basic supplies in Quissico, there is a local shop wich provides items including milk, sugar, tea, coffee, tinned fish and viennas, cool drinks, fresh produce and a few other items. Fresh Produce: including fruits, cashew nuts, tomatoes, fish and the popular Pau Portuguese rolls, can be bought from the local market. Prices are quite cheap although be aware that locals do sometimes try take advantage of tourists and up their prices.
A drum and timbila festival is held in Quissico every year by the locals ... which has a fantastic vibe! Even ambassadors from Germany, Sweden and China attend the festivals! - Not to be missed.
Fuel, except for unleaded, can be purchased... so be sure to fuel up at Xai Xai or Inhambane. Although, local accommodation lodges can organise unleaded petrol for you if you request in advance.
It is always best to pay for Fuel in Metica's than in South African Rands, because the rate of exchange can be quite high.
12 kilometres, on the South side of Quissico, there is a little dusty road, you will see a sign-board clearly marked: "Kay de Cope". This road will lead you to a little piece of paradise there are spectacular views of the lakes and idyllic beaches.
The lakes offer great water sport activities including: kayaking, skiing, parasailing, canoeing, kite surfing, Fishing is rewarding as Kingfish, Grunter and plenty of other fish can be caught.
The lakes are excellent for exploring ... in fact; you can take a long boat trip up North through a few lakes and windy water channels, towards Inharrime with some magnificent scenery and an abundance of birdlife to appreciate!
Out in the ocean, the Manta reef is uncharted territory, waiting to be explored and fishing is also excellent in these virgin Mozambican waters
