Area Info:
Nearest towns, services and sights. Mouth of the Lagoon In our opinion a must is a visit to the mouth of the lake located directly across from the town of Praia do Bilene. This can be done by driving from the Village of Nhabanga back to Praia do Bilene (approximately 11km) and chartering a small boat/ferry across from the PetroMoc Service Station at a nominal fee. This guarantees your journey to and from the mouth. Safe parking for your vehicle is available at the PetroMoc service Station. Should you have your own boat or Jet Ski it is advisable to navigate to Praia do Bilene and ask or wait for a boat to escort you through the correct channel in getting to the mouth safe. In order to stimulate the economy please tip the car guards. Please remember the sun protection, hats, chairs, umbrellas and coolers. Nhabanga Village The Village is the hub of activity for the locals and visitors from the surrounding resorts. The following sights/services are available: There are two shops for the replenishment of very basic food stuff. Fresh fish and prawns can be bought from local fishermen.

The bar is famous for the popular R & R (Tipo Tinto Rum and local Raspberry cool drink). A TV with DSTV is available for the inevitable games or matches that cannot be missed. Praia do Bilene The nearest town to the Nhabanga Village is the picturesque town of Praia do Bilene, favored holiday destination for patrons from all over Mozambique and indeed the world.

The Lighthouse is still operational and located on a hill overlooking the town of Songoene. This is also the town where the Limpopo River runs into the ocean. The view of this river is breath taking from the Lighthouse.
Attractions:
The view from the resort is one of breathtaking serenity with lavish flora and an endless white sand lakeside beach to feast the eye on.
Enjoying the calm waters of the lake if the rush of the ocean is not your scene, is a bonus for parents with youngsters or toddlers.
The lake gently slopes from shallow to deeper water. The ocean is a mere ten-minute drive from the Resort and requires a 4x4 and/or quads, as it entails a trip through the back trails and over the dunes. Here you can enjoy a stretch of prime white beachfront without the interruption of crowds. However, this is still an unspoiled beach. There are therefore no lifeguards or shark nets present.
