The roads to the west of Maputo lead towards the borders with South Africa and Swaziland. The road starts at Av. 24 de Julho, in the city and continues through Matola and Boane, a town about 30km from Maputo. The Barragem dos Pequenos Libombos, which supplies water to the city of Maputo, is a short trip from Boane. As you enter Boane, take the turn to the left (near a building with the sign 'Mundo de Beleza'. Take the right turn at the fork and continue until you see a group of white buildings ahead. Take the right turn after the buildings and continue on the tarred road until you reach the wall of the dam. It is a refreshing spot to escape to from the heat of the city and many people take a picnic for the day. No motor boats are allowed in the water and swimming is not permitted. COMPLEXO PEQUENOS LIBOMBOS LIBOMBOS HOTEL & CASINO |
West of Maputo
There
is also accommodation available and conference facilities for 100 people.
Continuing past Boane, you will reach the junction where you turn off
to the left for Namaacha and Swaziland. Namaacha is a very pretty town
approximately 80 km from Maputo and was once a popular holiday spot where
many residents of the city kept holiday homes. The climate there is cool
and damp and it is where many of the flowers sold in Maputo are grown.
A lovely place to visit is the waterfall, for which you take the right
turn just before you enter the town. You can drive there or alternatively,
park your car along the way and walk as it is a very quiet road. It's
a pleasant spot for a picnic and the countryside is green and hilly.
If
a picnic doesn't appeal, then a great alternative is the Libombos Hotel
in the town. The hotel has a relaxing atmosphere and is very popular for
weekends away from Maputo. Try a sun-downer at the poolside bar where
you get a view of the hills surrounding Namaacha.
