| INSECT REPELLENT | |||
Insect reprellents such as Peaceful Sleep, Tabard and Citronella Oil are strongly advised. Also mosquito coils. Although there are not many mosquitoes due to the onshore breeze from the sea, there are palm flies that bite and the best repellent for these is Citronella Oil. It is advisable to wear long sleeved shirts and light cotton longs on summer evenings |

... and if you are a fan of cashew nuts, then this should put a smile on your face because this area is a haven for Cashew nut tree's ... so expect locals holding big bags of cashew nuts - very inexpensive too!

Even though Xai Xai centre does have facilities, you will find Most of the facilities and supplies are found closer to the resorts at Praia do Xai-Xai (on the beach - approximatley 10km).
This includes: petrol, diesel (be sure to fill up with fuel as soon as you get there as tank stocks often run out with the influx of tourists), local food markets - seafood, popular portugese rolls, fruit, vegetables - ATM machines, banks, pharmacy's, post office, plenty of curios's / Arts & crafts to buy, pubs and a few very good seafood restaurants to dine at!
Snorklers, and divers will be happy to hear that there is a large coral reef that runs parallel and quite far off shore. This large coral reef naturally protects the bay from the strong waves during high tide, making it calms & safe for swimmers.

Beautiful corel pools can be explored during low tide and plenty of shells can be found.
Wenela Tidal Pool, about 2km South is a natural underwater blow-hole. The tidal pool has an underwater channel going to the ocean, creating a "blow-whole" effect. This is definitly a tidal pool to see - and not to swim in!
Bird enthusiasts will enjoy the few fresh water lakes about 40km (30 minute drive), north from Xai-Xai, as these lakes are home to a large variety of bird species. These lakes are great for Other activities, such as canoeing, paddle skiing, wind & Kite surfing.
If you are travelling to Xai Xai with a sedan vehicle, Be sure to confirm with the accommodation establishment that a 4x4 vehicle is not required - as quite a few popular Resorts / lodges only have sandy beach roads that lead to their establishment which requires a 4x4.
