I heard Guludo Beach Lodge once described as A tropical haven on a deserted beach in northern Mozambique and that evoked a picture in my mind, and unlike other times, the picture and reality were the same.
To start at the beginning, access to the lodge isnt easy, with a choice of Dar es Salaam, or Johannesburg as the international arrival. Having experienced the flights out of Dar es Salaam previously when going to Zanzibar I wasnt in a hurry to repeat that experience, so we flew to Pemba from Johannesburg which wasnt too bad.
The choices then are helicopter, too expensive, and scary for my wife, ever since we heard a helicopter had come down at Milford Sound in New Zealand, and wed seen it take off. My wife wont go by boat, which left us the only and very bumpy option which is by road, which takes over three hours and goes through the Quirimbas National Park. The new airstrip will add a fourth option, probably not acceptable to my wife either!!
Guludo Beach Lodge is just a fabulous sight a deserted beach, which makes you want to quickly strip off and swim in the warm absolutely clear water, which we did, before examining our accommodation.
