But we decided to go anyway because if we had listened to those voices, we&#8217;d never have gone to Nairobi, Kampala, or Kigali. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We love the energy of Maputo. It is vibrant, entrepreneurial, positive, and alive. Though Mozambique is not without its problems, its capital city is clearly on the move, transforming itself and melding some of the best parts of its rich and diverse cultures.
