Rory and Joana on Ilha

Joana and Rory are volunteers with a non-profit organisation called TechnoServe, based in Mozambique, working on promoting tourism for a bijou undiscovered island called Ilha de Mocambique. Our role is to develop a plan to attract the right kind of tourism and development which will protect the island's exceptional architecture, and create wealth for the local community... and eat lobster and sunbathe !

I bought my sister Camilla a picture of a Zanzibari door in the artshop inside the fort.


Their fort is conspicuously not European like Ilha's fort. It seems to have more in common with Maputo's which is way past Ilha, 6 hours flying south.


Zanzibari style seems to ramble and go off on tangents like a walk through a very interesting attic. Years of trade and cultural exchange between Europe, Asia and Africa means Chinese, Indian and British influences combine.
