Mozambique
Located on the south-eastern coast of Africa, Mozambique boasts an incredibly diverse and scenic landscape.
It combines 2,400km of coastline, replete with idyllic palm-lined beaches, tropical islands, crumbling forts, delicious seafood and world class diving that is virtually unrivalled with unspoilt bush, unique wildlife and an enchanting history and culture.
Maputo, the capital city, lies in the very far south and is a bustling and attractive port. A feast for the senses with its vibrant street life and superb seafood.
Our main focus is on the beach holiday options on the islands which split into two archipelagos:
Bazaruto Archipelago: 30 kms offshore from the coastal town of Vilanculos, is the Bazaruto Archipelago which consists of a string of beautiful sandy islands offering stunning beaches and crystal clear waters. One of the finest big game fishing, diving and snorkeling areas in the world with dazzling hard and soft corals and a bewildering array of marine life.
Quirimbas Archipelago: Equally beautiful and intoxicating is Cabo Delgado, Mozambique's most northeasterly province with the ancient port city of Pemba in the south and Tanzania to the north. Offshore from here lies the remote Quirimbas Archipelago, its 27 islands virtually untouched and unexplored.
