Tofo Beach

Turtle Cove

Is also quieter than fatima's. it's a 10 min walk from town away from the beach on the way to inhambane. they have a selection of separate chalets and dorms. the dorms have walls and screens, but still use the provided mosquito netting as the walls are pretty porous. that keeps things cool at night, though. the food is quite good, although the kitchen is run by just a couple of people so it takes a while to get your meal and if you order in even a small group you're likely to get your food at different times. the showers are in a block, uncovered but with reed walls that can't be seen through. they don't have shower heads but do have hot water! dorms and chalets are 240 mtn about us$10 per person per night.

The inimitable Fatima, building upon the success of Fatima's Place in Maputo, has opened a backpackers' in Tofo. There are bungalows, permanent tents, and a campsite. Shower facilities are available. Pool table, beachfront location and every day activities organized by the staff. The staff often laying on local music, dance and even beach theatre, and the bar is pumping well into the night on many an occasion.

Bamboozi Backpackers

A quieter, relaxed, much nicer spot further up the beach with better food, run by South Africans with Liquid Adventures PADI dive center on site. All you can eat pizza buffet every Wednesday night for about 250 MTn, good value for money. Restaurant/bar high on a sand dune overlooking a quiet, pristine beach. This place is charming and if you are ready to splurge a little, the sea view chalets are worth the extra money. Dorms, huts, chalets and even a honeymoon suite
