Off the beaten track...
I ’ve never left South Africa. Well, that’s not entirely true; my mom tells me I once went to Namibia when I was two, but considering I have no memory of the experience I don’t really think it counts. So when Isuzu invited me on a four-day Mozambique road trip adventure, there was no way I could say no. My husband and I grabbed our never-been-used passports, packed our bathing suits and headed for the airport.
Even though the skies opened up an hour into our stay, that wasn’t enough to dampen our spirits as we sipped on rosé and whiled the evening away.
’Sup, Durbs!
Before we set off for the white beaches of Mozambique, we met our hosts in Durban: Isuzu team Gishma, Ami and Azima, along with Grant, Chris and ‘Boats’ from Driving Dynamics –whose job it was to make sure we all arrived safely. All lined up in a neat row was our transport for the rest of the way: the Isuzu mu-X with its 3.0 turbodiesel and six-speed auto transmission. It seemed like we were in good hands.
