Mozambique
Enquire NowSometimes referred to as “the verandah to the Indian Ocean”, Mozambique has some of the world’s best beaches. With a revival of the Gorongosa National Park, Mozambican wildlife is thriving too.
Inland Mozambique is not as visited by international travellers. Those who do come to Mozambique generally visit the coast which has secluded golden beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The Bazaruto Archipelago and the Quirimbas Islands offer idyllic beach getaways which are more affordable than the Seychelles and less touristic than Mauritius.
The gateway to Mozambique is Vilanculos which lies in the shores of the Indian Ocean. The beautiful islands of the archipelago lie just a short boat ride away, making it perfect for day trips. The coastal towns, such as Inhambane have a laid-back atmosphere where visitors can soak up beach life while sipping on cool drinks and sampling Mozambique’s famous peri-peri chicken.
A vacation in Mozambique is about slowing down and enjoying life. Perhaps set out on a dhow cruise to the beautiful archipelagos or go swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving through diverse coral reefs in some of the best marine protected areas on Earth. This stretch of coastline is also popular for catch and release fishing for big game fish such as tuna, wahoo and black marlin.
The Mozambique islands are a popular honeymoon destination, especially the Bazaruto Archipelago and the Quirimbas Islands. There are several luxurious villas and lodges which offer the perfect secluded beach getaway.
Mozambique is great for a bush and beach vacation, combing game viewing in South Africa in the greater Kruger or Sabi Sands with some incredible Mozambique lodges.
Back on mainland Mozambique, the Gorongosa National Park has had something of a revival after the Mozambican civil war decimated its wildlife populations. Today, wildlife is thriving, offering excellent game viewing away from the crowds, which creates a truly memorable safari experience.
