The Blue Anchor Inn is situated 48.5km north of Maputo on the EN1 North road. Take the Xai- Xai off-ramp just after the Maputo Toll Plaza and turn left onto the EN1. This road takes you to all the coastal destinations north of the capital city of Maputo.
A scenic 48.5km up the EN1 you will discover the "Ultra-City Snack Bar" on your left. Look out for the “Blue Anchor Inn” sign directly after this. We are located just a short distance off the main road behind this - a great landmark is our plantation of bluegum trees lining the main road. When you spot these, slow down, you're home...
