Mozambique Travel Highlights - Trips & Tours

Mozambique

Barefoot Luxury
Accommodation is invariably in small, boutique lodges with privacy and tranquillity guaranteed. Despite offering safari destinations for the purist and some of the finest coastal scenery you could wish for, Mozambique is still blissfully off the beaten track.
Barefoot Luxury
Beaches
Mozambique's shores are scattered with beautiful beaches, some just small coves that are uncovered with the tides, others endless, deserted stretches of soft pearly sand, speckled with shells. There are few better places to relax with a champagne picnic under the shade of an umbrella during the heat of the midday sun.
Beaches
Diving & Snorkelling
Mozambique boasts some of the best diving and snorkelling sites in Africa, many of them only recently discovered. There are miles of colourful, untouched coral and a multitude of tropical fish species. Dive sites range from six metre beginner spots to vast coral walls for advanced divers to explore.

General Wildlife
A certain amount of patience and open mindedness is required for a safari in Mozambique, but there is big game present in both the Niassa Wildlife Reserve and the Gorongosa National Park. These are incredibly scenic tracts of wilderness, where guided walks and water based activities complement the game drives superbly.

Local Culture
Ibo Island and Ilha de Mozambique are undoubtedly the jewels in Mozambique’s cultural crown. Both have an evocative collection of colonial ruins that is slowly being brought back to life. Dig below the surface and you will also find much of interest in Pemba, Vilanculos and the small communities living on the Bazaruto and Quirimba islands.

Marine Wildlife
Exploring the waters of Mozambique reveals a wealth of marine life, from moray eels and groupers to parrot fish and reef sharks. Both the Bazaruto and Quirimba Archipelago’s attract nesting turtles at varying times, while there are conservation projects in place in the south to protect the rare, endangered dugong.

Our country specialists have travelled the length and breadth of Mozambique - here are a few of their favourite things to do

Mozambique is wild, beautiful, undeveloped and has mile upon mile of palm-fringed white beaches.

There are tiny villages where ngalawas are moored to mangrove trees, tailors sew dhow sails on old Singer sewing machines and children play football in sandy squares.

Offshore, there are small islands where nomadic fishermen built makeshift huts and turtles come ashore to nest.

Two of Mozambique’s archipelagos – the Bazaruto & Quirimba Archipelagos, have a few small lodges on. These are very low key with cottages under baobabs and where swimsuits, a snorkel mask and bare feet are the regular dress code.

Nothing works like clockwork but if you want to explore a country before others discover it, Mozambique is the place for you.
