Mozambique

Mozambique destinations are some of Africa’s best-kept secrets. This hidden gem boasts over 2,500 kilometres (1,553 miles) of unspoilt coastline, brimming with pristine beaches and tropical offshore islands. Where its more high-profile counterparts, like Seychelles, Zanzibar, and Mauritius, might see more foot traffic, a Mozambique holiday (or Moçambique holiday, if you prefer the Portuguese spelling) is fast becoming the continent’s top destination for a classic tropical island vacation.

Trips to Mozambique often consist of visiting the mainland or an idyllic island off the coast, like Quirimbas Island, Bazaruto Island or Benguerra Island. Mozambique beaches offer some of the best barefoot luxury holidays in the world, with a wide array of exciting activities to keep you busy when not soaking up the sun – including world-class diving in Bazaruto National Park. But there’s more to Mozambique vacations than just tropical islands, immaculate beaches, and frolicking in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The mainland of this Southern African country has much to offer as well. From impeccable game viewing in Mozambique’s beautiful and diverse flagship park, Gorongosa National Park, to the rich cultural and historic experiences that have shaped this remarkable nation.
