I’m sorry for being so absent here lately, I’ve had tons of interesting meetings and things to organize. All I can say for now is that I’m staying in Mozambique for another month to do a very fun and exciting consultancy.

To celebrate, I give you a couple of photos from when we went to Kruger National Park two weekends ago. I saw elephants, lions, zebras and hippos.. but I would like to dedicate this post to animals with different kinds of horns, and some funny and colourful birds. They don’t always get the attention they deserve.

Took the 0.10€, 20 minute boat to Catembe last weekend to take a look at what could be found on the other side of this thin stripe of sea. The crowded boatride and the place gave us a beautiful view of our dear Maputo, which has the skyline of a bustling and continuously growing city. There was not much else on site except something that looked like a cemetery for old boats, a vegetable market, and a lady selling the most beautiful capulana fabrics I’ve seen so far. I bought two. I also danced a little with a beautiful girl in the market, because as everywhere else – there’s always good music around here! And after crossing the water to get back to Maputo again, we went to the market next to the fortress where I bought my first capulana dress.

A daytrip to Catembe is simple and nice. Nothing extraordinary, but with friendly and welcoming people – as usual here in Mozambique. And that’s all I was looking for. That and photo opportunities.

The season for oranges is still here and their vivid colour that is scattered all over makes my mouth water. Here in Maputo, one kilo of oranges is 1€ from the lady on the street. I took these photos from the bus on the road to Inhambane. Whenever we stopped, ladies and children would approach us through the windows with fresh fruit, cookies and drinks. Very hard to resist.
