Shallow shores hooped by stunning white sandy beaches with undulating sand dunes and lush tropical vegetation is what you will find in the area. About eight kilometres from Bilene, across the lagoon at the opposite and upper side, lays the peaceful village of Nhabanga. The village can only be reached in a 4x4 or by boat. There is a twenty-three kilometre long sand road to the village which usually takes just under an hour to complete. This adventure definitely adds to the draw of the area!

Canoes are available for hire if you would like to mission out and do some adventurous exploring. Boat trips to the mouth of the lagoon can also be arranged. The lagoon itself is shallow enough to swim in and the water is always warm, snorkelling is also a favourite amongst guests and depending on the season, whales and turtles can also be seen.

At Maputo, follow the EN1, Xai-Xai signs.
From Maputo, travel on EN1 for approx. 150km to the town of Macia.
In Macia, turn right at the “Praia do Bilene” sign.(Opposite the Bp Garage)
Continue for approx. 32km to the town of Bilene.
In Bilene, at the first circle, take the second left in front of the hotel and continue until you reach a Tjunction.
Turn left and continue to the next T-junction which is the beach road.(Do not take the first and only left hand turnoff).
Turn left again and drive past the market.
Just past the market, look out for Chin-Chin restaurant and BIM bank.
Between these two buildings, on your left, is a sand road with various signs to Nhabanga Village and Serenity.
Follow this sand road for approx. 23km.There are various turn-offs, but keep on following the signs to Nhabanga e.g.Serenity,Villa Nhabanga, Nhabanga Paradise etc.
When entering Nhabanga Village, continue straight to the beach, past Lourenco’s bar.
When getting to the beach, turn left and continue on the beach for approx. 2km, past Villa Nhabanga, until you get to the Serenity sign on the beach.
When the lagoon is high,(May to September) it will be impossible to follow the beach road.In that case turn left at Lourenco’s Bar and continue straight and exit the village.Follow the sand road up the hill, at the top of the hill turn right and descend the hill towards the lagoon.Follow the sand road down to the beach and turn left on the beach.Travel approx. 150m to Serenity entrance on the beach. If travelling at night, look out for the lighted sign board and a blue light on the beach at the entrance.
It is advisable to stick to the speed limit in Mozambique as spot fines get issued.
Also adhere to the new requirement for reflective vests, large triangles etc.
Remember the papers for your vehicle and trailer!
The sand track from Bilene has some deep sandy patches, and a 4 x 4 is preferred, alternatively a vehicle with high ground clearance, tyres deflated to 1Bar and a driver skilful in sand driving!
At the difficult sandy patches, there are normally some sort of “chicken route” which is better to follow especially if towing a boat or trailer.

Children of all ages are welcome

When the lagoon is low, there are various shorter routes to Bilene, all involving beach driving.
Keep in mind that beach driving is an offence and is policed with a fine up to R1500-00. |
