NEWSLETTERS - FEBRUARY 2009 - VALENTINES SPECIALS

"I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon!" 
~ But, Cupid aside, Valentine's Day is a great time for a romantic getaway to the islands & beaches of Mozambique.  Luxurious lodging with Indian Ocean views create an ambiance for romance and there are lots of wonderful specials on offer at this time of the year!

Londo Lodge & Matemo Island Reosrt both now offer drinks included in accommodation rates. (House wines, local beers & spirits, soft drinks, bottled water & teas/coffees) Owner run Londo Lodge also has a new luxury Baobab Suite – with it’s own private plunge pool! The ideal honeymoon destination, Londo Lodge is just 15 minutes by boat from Pemba.
Stay 7 nights, pay for only 5 nights in March!

Pestana Bazaruto Lodge has a stunning new spa, as well as two huge swimming pools with Jacuzzi’s. They also have a new children’s play area. A big plus: we have reduced Rand rates for for bookings until 30 June 2009!
