or just off it.

Sleeping & Eating
For meals, there's a refrigerator ( from 7am Mon-Sat) next to the bakery (which is on
a side street one block before the bus stand) with juice, yoghurt and (sometimes) apples.
Also try the small café (light meals from Mtc100) behind the park with the aeroplane.

Getting There & Away

The transport stand Offline map Google map is about two blocks south of Avenida Eduardo
Mondlane; turn down the street with Millennium BIM. Several chapas daily go between
Pemba and Montepuez (Mtc170, three hours). Heading west, there's regular transport to
Balama (Mtc160), but from there to Marrupa (for Niassa Reserve) there is no option other
than hitching a lift with a tractor or a truck. If you're driving, the Balama-Marrupa stretch
is only feasible in the dry season.
