Lonely Planet: Mozambique

The Guidebooks sure are easy to tease, but they come in handy once in a while too. Mozambique is an underserved market in the guidebook world as it is, and it doesn't hurt to have an updated book on the block to help you out with logistics there. Lonely Planet: Mozambique is finally out--the release date flip-flopped so much on Amazon so much, we stopped checking up on it. Sure enough, once we stopped looking, the book arrived! Its primary author, Mary Fitzpatrick, has contributed to several other Lonely Planet guides for Africa. The competition will heat up this May, when Bradt has its updated Mozambique book coming out.

No more Rob and Amber?! Such a pity--they were shady, but so much fun to watch. Would those questionable comments we expected from Eric as raunchy as we hoped they'd be? Are the teams heading from Patagonia to Antartica? And will Charla and Mirna, after last week actually uttering the phrase "See you, wouldn't want to be you," get the boot from Phil? Oh, let's hope so.

Safari Lust: Mozambique Edition

If a trip to South Africa sounds like it would cramp your style, and you can no longer bear the thought of stepping foot in Namibia now that Angelina Jolie's popped a baby there, the latest safari destination to capture your imagination might just be Mozambique's Lugenda Wildlife Reserve. Rani Resorts' Lugenda Bush Camp is the reserve's first luxury outfit.

It's all about privacy and seclusion at Lugenda, where there are just four tents and your only base for fly-in is Pemba, a coastal city also in the Cabo Delgado province. Privacy and seclusion from humans, that is. This is a prime hot spot for elephants and wild dogs especially, as well as other big game.

If you're coming from the U.S., the trip will be so long (and the connections likely so numerous) that an additional beach holiday in Pemba or the neighboring Quirimbas Archipelago would make sense. Beware, though: if your mouth isn't already watering at the thought of unexplored wilderness, pictures of Quirimbas beaches will surely make you drool.
