Mozambique is one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. With its wide sandy beaches on the mainland bathed by the warm Indian Ocean and palm-fringed islands peeking out of azure waters, Mozambique is a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Set sail on a traditional dhow to explore the coral reefs teeming with marine life, explore the resurgent parks and conservation areas for safari and birdwatching adventures, hike stunning reserves and mountains or spend your days soaking up the sun and relaxing.
