Solo OVERLANDING in Mozambique - Vilanculos to Gorongosa

In this weeks episode of Lost in Mozambique, join me as I embarks on an adventure to explore more of this beautiful country, but this time way off the conventional tourist tract, and on my own. Solo OVERLANDING at it's best.
The journey begins with a scuba diving expedition in the crystal clear waters of Bazaruto, where I encounters an array of colorful marine life. After the dive, I set off on an overlanding road trip to reach the renowned Gorongosa National Park. The road is full of challenges, including potholes, rough terrain, and corrupt police officers. But, I was determined to reach this bucket-list location that I have been dreaming of my whole life.
Traveling solo in Africa can be an exhilarating experience, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. The road north is terribly maintained, full of potholes and corrupt officials. One of the other challenges is the language barrier. As you head further into rural Mozambique, there is very little english spoken.
Don't miss out on this incredible adventure, and join me on a journey of a lifetime.

Tim your photography is just stunning, I love how you captured the local community and shared their story on this episode. Those photos are so beautiful. The road to Gorongosa looked never ending but I bet the destination is definitely worth it all… looking forward to the next one!

That’s what I have also noticed about Mozambique. The bread is just perfect nothing like South African bread 🤞🏻

[@LostinAfrica]

Haha i love their rolls! So good! It’s the portugese influence we don’t have in SA.

[@LostinAfrica]

Oh amazing, has it changed a lot?

[@dhanyalismail8307]

@@LostinAfrica Unfortunately no, they are still as bad as they were back then. The only diference now is all the military stopping points, back then there were none.

[@ThachGa]

I'm an asian used to live in Vilankulos. Inhambane province is a paradise. Peace and beautiful.

[@jeffreymoteme]

I admire your honsty about the conditions of Africa and that its not for sisies but truth be told there are countries in other continents just as bad Asia Latin America but hey great video men !

[@LostinAfrica]

100%, just trying to inform viewers that want to do trips like this! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@hamzaadan9131]

I’m from Kenya 🇰🇪 and tbh I’m actually thankful that our highways are amazing never complaining again 500km takes 5-7hrs driving here

[@LostinAfrica]

I’ve been to Kenya a load, but I am dying to get up there on an overlanding trip!

[@mitchellanddonnabrooke2177]

Dont think there is too much overlanding being done around these parts. I must say i would be hestitant to do this trip alone so big up.

[@LostinAfrica]

Such an incredible part of the world, so worth it!

[@francoisduplessis2413]

in africa when they have something that is good they have to break it!

[@LostinAfrica]

That’s not true.

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

Never been to Mozambique, what’s with all the SA taxis lol

[@LostinAfrica]

Loads of Mozambicans work in SA and bring lots of stuff home for their holidays!

[@troopyinafrica]

Tim I thought you were going to show us your iPhone leveling trick 😂😜 What did you do about brides? Did you pay and how much?

[@LostinAfrica]

Haha no I have to keep some tricks for those that coming camping with me! I did not pay a single bribe!

[@brianbowes9253]

Hi There, where would you say you had your best diving experiences in Moz, we visiting as from the 3rd of July for a Month, ideally like to be where there is great diving, I know the whole coastline is great, but I'm looking for those must do's, let me know your thoughts, thx in advance.

[@LostinAfrica]

Hi Brian, the vis is not phenomenal in moz generally, but there are amazing opportunities to see some big pelagic’s in Ponta do Ouro, Tofo and Bazaruto. The vis probably gets a bit better as you head further north, but that said I have had unbelievable vis at ponta. Tofo is literally one of my favorite places on the planet, good shark, manta and whale shark sightings, plus all the regulars.

[@LostinAfrica]

I’m so jealous I can’t tell you!

[@tonymatlosa6928]

That haircut looking gangsta.

[@LostinAfrica]

Haha thanks abuti!

[@zanthegoedhals3720]

Wow Tim, love the videos! I aspire to be. I want to start youtubing and documenting my vacations, but not sure how to start. Can you please give me some tips, you edit everything so perfectly, I would also like to achieve this quality content that you provide! Kind regards Zanthé

[@LostinAfrica]

Hi Zanthe, so i have a bit of an unfair advantage, i have been a professional photographer and film maker for many years before I tried my hand at KZbin. So i was lucky enough to have very fancy gear the first time I filmed. But that said, if you can get an up to date smart phone, preferably an iphone, you can start producing videos! My main advice at first is simply to start filming everything, and talking to the camera at the beginning and end of every day, plus whenever something interesting happens. Then as you start to put that footage together you will realise what footage you need more of, or where you are lacking a little, and then learn from it and try again. KZbin itself is an incredible resource to learn how to tell stories! Hope that helps, and good luck!

[@zanthegoedhals3720]

@LostinAfrica Hello Tim, thank you so much for the advice! I will definitely try my best and let you know. I also want to buy a camera, (preferably under 10K) but I have no knowledge whatsoever... can you please recommend something for a beginner? I really enjoy our content and appreciate your reply alot. Sorry about all the questions. Thank you in advance!
