Mozambique Highlights


A diverse cultural heritage and an incredible coastline with a series of stunning coral islands, makes Mozambique one of the premier destinations for those seeking a beautiful, unspoilt beach experience. Remote national parks support good and increasing concentrations of wildlife in an undeveloped landscape.

 

Quirimbas Archipelago: Over thirty beautiful tropical islands. Excellent properties on many islands like Vamizi, Matemo, Quilalea, Medjumbe and Ibo. Excellent coral reefs, beaches and water activities.

 

Bazaruto Archipelago: Basaruto and Benguerra islands, just off the coast, feature several great lodges on beautiful beaches. Wonderful scuba and snorkelling and outstanding big game fishing.

 

Niassa Reserve: Remote and rugged, this is the largest reserve in Mozambique with a diverse ecology, amazing scenery and high concentrations of game and birdlife.

 

Gorongosa: The country’s most diverse wilderness is rebounding rapidly after much philanthropic investment to recover previously denuded game stocks.

 

Maputo: Fascinating mixture of cultures from Mediterranean to African make the capital city a vibrant and exciting entrepot.

 

Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park: A joint initiative between Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa to combine lands adjacent to the three counties which, if implemented, would create a massive connected wilderness.
