Travelling Mozambique

Mozambique is one of the most romantic destinations in Africa. Situated on Africa's southeast coast, it has pristine beaches, untouched tropical islands and stunning coral reefs, proudly boasting 2 500km (1 550 miles) of breathtaking coastline. Explore the exquisite Bazaruto Archipelago, with its stunning islands, as well as Pemba and deserted islands chains like the remote Quirimbas Archipelago. The capital, Maputo, has a vibrant street life and colourful markets where you can shop to your heart's content.

The pearl of the Indian Ocean, Mozambique boasts 2 500 km (1 550 miles) of pristine beachfront on the mainland, with a string of beautiful and idyllic tropical islands, glittering like jewels in the warm, azure waters of the Indian Ocean. Soft, white sand beaches lined with coconut palms stretch as far as the eye can see.

Mozambique has remained an exclusive destination, as many of its islands and mainland beaches are isolated and secluded, offering travellers the ultimate escape. There are no golf courses or shopping malls here, but the unspoiled natural beauty and rich marine life has pushed the country to the top of the list for honeymooners, scuba divers and water sport fanatics.
