Have you ever heard of the town called Tofo? Probably not! It’s located in Mozambique, and I highly recommend that you consider making the trip here when traveling throughout the continent of Africa. Tofo is easy to get a flight to from South Africa and neighboring countries or take public transportation from Maputo (the capital of Mozambique), making it a great stop if you’re looking to add some ocean to your African Safaris. While in Tofo, I found the best hotel, called Kumba Lodge, in Tofo, Mozambique. From the moment I stepped foot on this property, I knew this would be an amazing stay. 

Welcoming smiles from the friendly staff upon my arrival set the tone for an incredible stay. The lodge's lush tropical gardens and colorful decor exude a vibrant charm that instantly puts me in vacation mode. Nestled just steps from the Indian Ocean, the lodge offers breathtaking views of the sparkling waters. The views here are so incredible it’s hard to even put into words. There are built-in steps, so you can easily access the ocean too. If you’re lucky, you might even get to see whales right off the deck! 

Accommodation Options at Kumba Lodge in Tofo, Mozambique 

Kumba Lodge boasts various affordable accommodations, each uniquely designed to embrace the surrounding nature. I opted for the beachfront bungalow, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The eco-friendly thatched-roof cabana exuded rustic elegance while offering modern comforts. Falling asleep to the gentle lull of the waves and waking up to a stunning sunrise peaking through the window every morning was a top-tier experience.
