Gorgeous Tofu Beach

The raw beauty of the african coast

I don’t know about you but I love finding hidden gems in unsuspected places!  One of these places was a beautiful village on the coast of Mozambique called Tofu Beach in Inhumbane. While we were on a trip recently to visit our son, Shaun, in Tete, Mozambique, we took a little side trip to this relaxing beach to refresh and process. 


We spent 5 days here staying in lovely accommodations called Kumba Lodge. The lodge sat on top of a sand dune that overlooked the ocean and had an infinity pool.  Shaun’s friend, Keruso, also, joined us for four days.


Chad & Shaun learned to surf and thoroughly enjoyed that! My highlight was taking a dhow boat, which in essence is a sailboat, with a local gentleman where we did snorkeling/picking up shells.  It was amazing and we saw starfish, seahorses and beautiful fish! It was a long journey in the hot sun, but it was such a neat cultural experience. Many men and women were fishing out in the bay on sandbars which looked like such a hot and tedious job!


It was fun buying some souvenirs from the locals which made their day. An eventful part of the trip was one evening when Shaun was headed to his room in the darkness, he stepped over something. Unbeknownst to him, we would later learn it was a rock python! The lodge owner assured us that they will not bother us…they are just good at catching rats. Also, there may have been a toad in our toilet. So if you are in this part of the world, and you don’t mind a few critters, I highly recommend Tofu Beach!

By Joanne Sauder February 23, 2024
BRING JUSTICE TO THE FATHERLESS, PLEAD THE WIDOW’S CAUSE; Tete, where we visited, is a city southwest of Pemba and is far from the coast. It is known to be the hottest and driest city in Mozambique. Our son, Shaun, had been serving in Tete for nearly 7 months and we travelled over to visit him and see what God was doing in that part of Africa. He was serving with Pioneer 61, a ministry who has been loving on the poor in the mid-western part of Mozambique for 10 years already.

Then in March of 2012, Chad & I joined our friends who we had connected with at the mission school on a planned scouting trip to Thailand and Cambodia. Laying things down that we love can be difficult...especially people. We felt led to move to Cambodia with no strings attached.
