Mozambique is the jewel of Southern Africa. It attracts with picturesque beaches lined with coconut palms, a diverse culture, a mysterious atmosphere and everything you need for adventure. This beautiful country isn´t the most visited in this part of the world, but it definitely has a lot to offer for those, who would love to discover it. Long beaches, cut off from the inland by high sand dunes, turquoise waters filled with colourful fish, well preserved coral reefs and many tiny but beautiful islands and archipelagos…and on the white tips of the waves one can find surfers, jumping dolphins in between and traditional “dhow” fishing boats.
For the ones who love a relaxing holiday by the beach with a little pinch of adventure, Mocambique is perfect. It adds an authentic local and cultural experience. What awaits you? The Bazaruto archipelago, Tofo Beach, Ibo island or Ilha da Mocambique. For already more than 500 years people have come to the coastline of Mozambique to marvel at the sea, the coconut palm beaches, mangrove forests, those old wooden fishing boats and playing kids. Once you experience Mozambique, you won´t want to go back to “all inclusive”.
And if you liked those romantic beaches, wait till you dive below the surface. There, in these waters of the Indian Ocean, you can enjoy diving among beautiful corals, atolls, colourful fish and even encounter some of those big predators. You will have the possibility to get face to face with a Manta ray, whalesharks or even with a great white. It doesn´t matter if you choose Tofo, Inhambane, Xai Xai, Zavora, Vilanculos or even the northern Quirimbas, there are surprises underwater everywhere. And in case you are not diving, even snorkeling gear will suffice to properly have a close look at a whaleshark.
Come and leave our European “somehow-summer” and join our expeditions to Mozambique, you will definitely experience wonderful moments like watching whales, which come swimming close to shore to mate. Breathtaking tropical sunsets are waiting, mixed with the sound of clashing waves.
Mozambique though isn´t only about water, swimming, diving and beach life, there is also a very rich history and an interesting colonial architecture mixed with hot portuguese blood. Rich history is attractive for many travelers, from the southern beaches to the very cultural northern islands like “Ilha da Mocambique”, “Ibo” or other places the old heritage will be ever present.
Mozambicans are no strangers to fun and good times, long nights and colourful days make this country a wonderful experience. Bustling streets, markets, coffeeshops and bars are everywhere. Wherever one goes, he will meet people, in villages, alongside roads either on foot or on their motorcycles. And the best is – no one is in a hurry and often we feel like time has stopped here.
Mozambique invites you to come and visit – and also because it is not the easiest to get there, but it´s worth it. It is a 3rd world country and distances here are tremendous. If you travel with peace, tolerance and patience you will have the trip of your lifetime.
The country of Mozambique is situated in southern Africa, with Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Swaziland as its neighbours. The eastern side is one huge shoreline where it meets the Indian Ocean. If you mention to anyone that you want to cross Mozambique from north to south, then it actually means crossing 1/3 of the African continent. The “spaghetti-like” country stretches across the dramatic scenery of the Zambezi valley, which forms part of the Great Rift Valley and which divides the country into a different south and north. The south is more flat, more touristy, more developed. The north is dotted with granite hills and mountains as well as a savanna-like landscape…
Mozambique is a very photogenic country. Many tourists avoid the north but that is exactly why we want to go there – because “off the beaten track” is attractive.
Travelling in the country:
Mozambique is a little more tricky, not only because of the language barrier (one should know a bit of portuguese!) but also because of an underdeveloped tourist infrastructure especially high up north. You don´t necessarily need a 4×4 if you want to stick on the main roads and not go far north or into the Limpopo Transfrontier Park. Traveling in Mozambique can be adventurous and demanding.
For those with a backpack, it is no problem to get around on the main routes. Or even with a small car. Would you like to know more or need more info for your planning? Download the recent online guide, it will make life easier for you.
