If you're a pedal pushing junkie with
a lust for exotic destinations then you're going to love
this! Enter a Magical Mystery 3 stage Mountain Bike
event in Marvellous Mozambique this June. What could be
better than pedalling on pristine beaches under a full
moon and a canopy of twinkling stars or whizzing through
coconut groves under a brilliant blue sky? After four
days of pumping pedals you could dive the coral reefs,
chill out and watch whales or give your legs a well
deserved rest and just laze on the beaches. |

Wimbi Beach |
Miles of white sand beaches, the swaying fronds of tall
palm trees, clear blue waters and total relaxation are
what Wimbi Beach is all about. Wimbi (or Wembe) Beach is
but a short distance from Pemba. The town itself is
worth a visit, with a huge market where you can buy just
about anything.
But it won't be long before you head for the beach.
Lying on the warm coral sands is exercise enough for a
lot of people, occasionally stirring to buy a coconut or
fresh bread. For the more active the beach offers the
whole range of water sports, plus good fishing and
diving. There is also the option of heading toward the
Querimbas Archipelago, a string of islands stretching
north towards Tanzania. The diving is even better from
here and the crumbling colonial buildings strangely
compelling. |
