Directions:
From SA, make your was toward Maputo, via your preferred border (Komatipoort is the usual). If you have a slight sense of adventure and it hasn't rained heavily for at least a week, you could take the Moamba Road, which bypasses Maputo, and gets you to Xinavane, about an hour away from us. The Moamba road is usually graded and fairly well maintained. I have successfully driven it in a City Golf, so the shiny Sandton 4x4s shouldn't have a problem on that road ;-)If you opt to go through Maputo, follow the signs for Xai-xai, which lead you to the N1 heading North.
From Maputo, you cross several villages (please respect scrupulously the speed limits), one of which is Palmeira (nothing to do with us), then to Macia.
In the village of Macia, you'll find a BP petrol station on the left, opposite a Shoprite shop. This is the last place for quick shopping (the Shoprite doesn't have a very reliable stock of everything), and the road to the right is the one that leads you to Bilene, also indicated as Praia do Bilene.
Thirty three kilometers down the mostly straight road, you'll get to the first traffic circle in the Bilene village. At that first circle, take the first road on your left. You'll drive down to the market, situated on your left, and reach the Avenida Marginal (the beachfront avenue). Turn left, and go to the traffic circle that marks the end of the tarred road. The entrance of Complexo Palmeiras is on your right, get ready for a quick splash in the warm water of the lagoon...
