Are two weeks too much for Tofo (Mozambique)?

[PeterMukiwa2]

I am planning a trip in April, and will be flying over from Europe. Heard many good things about the Tofo beach area. Question: will two weeks be too much for that area? I also considered taking in some GW dives in Gansbaai? Your comments and recommendations are welcome.

I would suggest that 2 weeks may be too much for you...your suggestion of Gansbaai and maybe (may I recommend) some local diving in Cape Town or even Sodwana Bay/Aliwal Shoal/Protea Banks in KwaZulu Natal ....you will not be disappointed.

I don't know if it is too long, but have a great time and post some pictures. That would be awesome to go to Africa and do some diving (and sightseeing). Have fun.

Tofo is great diving. There are a lot of different reef in the Inhambane area. Could keep you busy for weeks. You may want to do southern Mozambique as well. Ponta Malongane and Ponta do Ouro is great diving. Reef called Pinnacles + 35m where there are plenty of Zambezis (Bull sharks) to see. Was there two weeks ago, did a negative entry and landed between 8 bull sharks, amazing. Going back there this week end, can’t get enough!

Sodwana Bay in South Africa has amazing coral and some Raggies, but they left now for the Cape. Protea Banks of Shelley Beach in Kwazulu Natal Province is a great deep dive with lots of Zambezis and Tiger sharks. I have not diveed in the Cape yet (too cold) but planning to do so in October. Mozambique and Kwazulu-Natal has absolute awesome dives. You won’t be disappointed!
