Chokwé Route

Chokwé, or Chokue, is a rural town in Mozambique’s Gaza province. It is located about 230km north of the capital city of Maputo and about 106km from Massingir. The main activity in the region is agriculture and it is noted for its tomatoes. In 2000 the town and its surroundings were particularly hard hit by rising flood waters from the Limpopo River.

Chissano is not a tourism destination as such. It is a sleepy roadside town with few accommodation options. However, this is a good town in which to experience true Mozambican life. A few locally owned shops sell basic goods and there is a discotheque and backpacker’s lodge. The people are incredibly friendly and helpful.
