With a little over six hundred and twenty-one miles of coastline on the stunning Indian Ocean, Mozambique beckons to the scuba divers, fishing enthusiasts, sailors, and beach lovers alike. For many years now, Mozambique has been working hard to establish itself in the African tourism sector, and it is safe to say that it has arrived. This country offers spectacular options for any African vacation and has maintained its off-the-beaten-track reputation making it a destination worth the effort.

Water is the main draw to the country as most of its geography consists of low-lying plateau broken up by sizeable rivers that flow into the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Of course, the most famous is the Zambezi. One of the nation’s top destination sites is the Bazaruto Archipelago. It is home to dozens of bird species, including fish eagles and pink flamingos, plus red duikers, bushbucks, and Nile crocodiles. Dolphins, loggerhead turtles, leather-back turtles and green turtles can be seen from the vantage of a graceful white-sailed Dhow. The Quirimbas National Park is best known for its innumerable bird species, rich marine life, gorgeous beaches, and scattered coral islands that have newly developed a small selection of eco-friendly luxury resorts.
