Mozambique
A country known as the new discovery on the East African coast. Mozambique stretches all the way up the Indian Ocean from South Africa to Tanzania.
Once Portugal’s most important African colony, Mozambique is an excellent place to experience the faded glamour of the colonial era, most visible in the many old Portuguese buildings that still remain. Maputo is a fascinating city with some of Africa’s finest seafood, while the ports of Beira and Ilha de Mocambique are rich with colonial architecture.
Most visitors travel to Mozambique, however, for the small Indian Ocean hideaways found on two offshore archipelagos, Quirimbas and Bazaruto. A mere handful of small resorts are set on small and unspoilt islands ringed by white-sandy beaches.
The surrounding waters are filled with some of Africa’s most pristine coral reefs and are easily explored with a snorkel and mask or by scuba diving. The atmosphere here is of a little oasis of luxury pinned on the edge of the known world, perfect for family, honeymoon and beach holidays.
TRAVEL ADVICE
Until recently access has been difficult, but new air services make these tropical beach havens easy to reach from either Dar es Salaam or Johannesburg.
Mozambique is a good year round destination.
