Leo, let's discuss accommodation in Eswatini and Mozambique. What are the options?
Mira, the range is vast. Are we talking basic lodgings or luxury villas?
A bit of both, perhaps. I envision cozy guesthouses in the Eswatini highlands. What are the options?
Eswatini is small, so expect smaller-scale accommodations. Mbabane and Manzini offer standard hotels, but elsewhere, expect a more rustic experience.
Rustic? Charmingly rustic, or "recently vacated by baboons" rustic?
Charmingly rustic, with a potential gecko encounter. Lovely lodges and guesthouses exist, but luxury isn't prevalent.
So, Eswatini: cozy, but maybe BYO fly swatter? What about Mozambique?
Mozambique offers significant coastal potential. Consider upscale resorts in Vilanculos and Pemba, including overwater bungalows.
Overwater bungalows! Sounds idyllic.
It's not all five-star luxury. Budget-friendly guesthouses and hostels are available, particularly in Tofo's surfing area.
Tofo surfing! What about long-term rentals?
In Eswatini, networking and local connections are crucial. Online listings are limited.
Biltong bribes? What about Mozambique?
Mozambique's larger cities, like Maputo, have a more formal rental market, but expect creative negotiations. Always view properties in person.
"Creative negotiations"—bartering goats for rent?
Something like that. In both countries, patience is key; embrace the unexpected.
"Indiana Jones and the Search for Habitable Housing"—got it!
Precisely. Prioritize security checks. Avoid rogue monkey neighbors.
