WARNING:
Never travel after dark in Mozambique! The combination of un-roadworthy vehicles (often without lights) and irresponsible local drivers, are the perfect ingredients for disaster.
Directions:
- Driving from Maputo on EN1 Continue north towards Inhambane (approx 450 kilometers),
- Turn Right at Lindela towards Inhambane.
- Continue through Inhambane on the Tofo Road until you reach the Barra Tofo Split at Bar Babalaza.
- Continue Straight ahead for approximately 7 kilometers on the sand road towards Barra, then turn right at the signs for the lighthouse. (Please stop here to deflate your tyres to 1 Bar or less to minimise damage to this road - if you don't have a small compressor with you, you can reinflate your tyres at Bar Babalaza or the service station before heading back onto the tar.)
- This is a tough sandy road for 4x4's only with "free-range" children playing on it. Please be careful.
- Drive right upto the lighthouse then turn right just before the rondavel, then immediately left before the tracks start. The short winding road will take you right in. The house on the right (when facing the sea) is Miramar Barra.
- Ask the staff to help you unload your vehicles while you enjoy a drink on the verandah, and start enjoying your time in paradise. Welcome to Miramar!
