Explore Mozambique

Mozambique is a beautiful country. Inland there are national parks and reserves and along the Indian Ocean coastline you’ll find stunning beaches, protected marine parks and a string of dreamy island archipelagos.

Lying just off the southeast coast at the heart of a protected Marine National Park, is a beautiful collection of islands, the Bazaruto Archipelago. Benguerra Island, the second largest island, has shandy shores lined with palm trees and sand dunes. Inland there are forests and freshwater lakes, indigenous flora and fauna and welcoming local communities. The waters are excellent for snorkelling, scuba diving and fishing and are home to one of the last remaining viable populations of the rare dugong. Flying in by helicopter is a breathtaking way to arrive.

On the mainland and within a short drive of Vilanculos you’ll find rustic and romantic beach lodges and boutique hotels. The long beaches of white or gold sand are pristine and often uncrowded, just perfect for relaxing, exploring the tidal pools or taking long walks along the shore.

In the far south of the country, just across the border from South Africa, is Ponta Mamoli, an area known for its wide beaches of soft white sand, crystal clear waters and excellent dive sites. Glamorous resorts perch on the dunes with fabulous sea views. Accessed by 4x4 vehicles across sandy roads, getting here can feel like an adventure in itself, but its very remoteness is a huge part of its appeal.
