With its long Indian Ocean coastline of undiscovered beaches and crystal-clear waters, Mozambique is a haven of calm and provides a perfect way to relax after the excitement of a safari.

Mozambique offers a variety of experiences, with a rich history and host of colonial-era architecture. This Portuguese influence adds a touch of flamboyance to the natural beauty that surrounds it, and beyond this, Mozambique is largely untouched by the outside world.

Relatively unexplored, the sacred Mount Namuli is guarded by local traditions – with climbers expected to present flour and rice to local chiefs to sprinkle on the mountain for their ancestors before attempting to scale its granite slopes.

Mozambique’s well-preserved coral reefs offer excellent snorkelling and diving opportunities with a huge array of marine life to observe – divers have the chance to see humpback whales and whale sharks.

The conservation park on Bazaruto Archipelago is home to more exotic creatures such as parrots, sea turtles and dugong, and demonstrates the richness of Mozambique’s wildlife.
