The Southern Sun casino is a decent resort. Surprisingly Las Vegas-like (O.K., Reno- or AC-like), with the restaurants, bars, and pretty lively casino. They even have a craps table (albeit with poor odds and some unique practices -- but, hey, that's part of the fun). This is the only time I can recall seeing craps, my favorite game, outside the U.S. or Macau, so if you're in a part of the world where you don't have access to full-service casinos, it's a nice diversion.
I also took a side trip to Maputo, which was interesting for one night. The Serena hotel is comfortable, and the street life there (e.g., seeing everything in Portuguese) is fun.
