Thread: Mozambique - Tofo Location Pages, Mega Fauna and more...

  1. #1


    Default Mozambique - Tofo Location Pages, Mega Fauna and more...

    I did a two week trip to Tofo in Mozambique late last year and have finally completed updating my site with a comprehensive series of seven pages on the location.

    There are two things that are really special about the area in my opinion - firstly there are the manta rays and whale sharks, which is what most people go there for. But secondly, and what made it really special for me, was the presence in Tofo of Andrea Marshall and Simon Pierce who are leading the research into the mega fauna through their foundation based there.

    Their regular talks at Casa Barry at the end of Tofo beach are just fantastic and really made my trip one to remember.

    The location pages on my site cover the area in general and why the mega fauna are there, the mantas, the whale sharks, the mega fauna foundation, Tofo dive sites overview, Tofo diving logistics and general Tofo logistics like how to get there etc.

    Here is the link to the first page and just follow the links at the bottom of each page. Feedback welcome - learning as I go building my site...

    Beautiful and fascinating article -- thank you very much for sharing this! I think Tofo has to go on my bucket list, although it's a long way away.

    One comment on the site . . . as you click the links to go from page to page, it opens the new page in a new window, but the old one stays open. So I had several pages to close when I was done.

    Thanks very much indeed for the comments and the feedback about closing the pages.

    Tofo is definitely on my list of places to dive. I had been planning a trip there for February 2012, but one of the folks in our group decided he didn't like the surf entries/exits ... so we opted for a Maldives liveaboard instead.

    However, with a "relative" in Africa I have a reason to go there ... perhaps in 2013 ...

    My article on Tofo and its mega fauna was published in the latest issue of X-Ray magazine and can be downloaded (4MB...) on this link.
