An emerging destination for those looking for something different, Mozambique is a country of immense beauty and rich culture, with over 2500 kms of unspoilt coastline and pristine beaches. The Bazaruto Archipelago, consisting of just five small islands, is the most romantic of honeymoon destinations. Some of the finest coral reefs in the Indian Ocean can be found here and diving in this national park is spectacular. In the north of the country is the lesser known but equally beautiful Quirimbas Archipelago.
Maputo, with its vibrant mix of African, Arab and Portuguese cultures, produces a fascinating atmosphere which is reflected in its architecture, including the Maputo Railway Station designed by Gustave Eiffel in 1910.
With an average maximum temperature of 30º throughout the year, Mozambique offers the perfect beach holiday combination with South Africa's safari heartlands only 2 hours away.
