Far from simply an idyllic beach escape (although it is certainly that), Mozambique is a storied and fascinating country with cultural, natural and historical appeal in spades. With friendly people, beautiful scenery, and resorts, villas and lodges to suit every taste, group and budget, it truly offers something for everyone.
The white-sand beaches, untamed game reserves and turquoise oceans with their thriving marine life are complemented by vibrant towns, colourful markets and enriching heritage sites for a truly see and do-it-all coastal destination. Easy access by plane and now road too (there are numerous popular destinations in southern Mozambique near the border), also makes combining a trip here with a visit to South Africa a breeze.
Great diversity & natural beauty
With thousands of kilometres of coastline, multiple archipelagos and countless beaches and barely traversed islands, Mozambique is just the place to escape to if you’re seeking peace as well as adventure. Relatively unspoilt in travel terms, and less commercial than many a tropical locale, it offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in tranquil natural wilderness.
It’s home to thriving wildlife, from the Bazaruto Archipelago’s vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish (a paradise for divers and snorkellers) to the Quirimbas Archipelago with its majestic whale sharks and elusive dugongs, or Tofo Beach – where you can explore coral gardens and witness manta rays up close – not to mention the species of sea turtle who nest all along the coastline.
Centuries of culture, craft & cuisine
Shaped by centuries of multicultural influences from Portuguese to Indian and Arabic, Mozambique is a history- and craft-lover’s paradise filled with architectural marvels, bustling markets selling textiles, carvings and jewellery, and fascinating archaeological sites.
As well as its art and craft, Mozambique has a strong musical legacy. Traditional Marimba bands will provide a tropical soundtrack to your explorations. And of course – a must on any good holiday – there’s the cuisine. A melting pot, so to speak, of culinary styles and flavours, in Mozambique you’ll find fresh seafood, spices and produce aplenty.
Jump in – a plethora of adventure and activities
With its thriving marine life and spectacular scenery, Mozambique is the perfect playground for the outdoor and adventure enthusiast. By way of aquatic activities, you’re spoilt for choice and can opt for anything from snorkelling, scuba diving and sailing, to more leisurely pursuits like sunset cruises and swimming with dolphins.
Mozambique is also known for its deep-sea fishing opportunities, which draw anglers from around the world in pursuit of marlins, sailfish, and other trophy species.
For those who wish to explore dry land a little further, there is no shortage of things to do. From horse riding on the beach, romantic dinners with the waves lapping nearby or visits to local historical and shopping hotspots , will keep you engaged and enthralled.
