Whilst Mozambique may not be first country that springs to mind when you plan your holiday to Africa, there is no reason why it should not be.
To sail a dhow in the Bazaruto Archipelago or dive on pristine reef teeming with myriad colourful fish at Quirimbas is to experience tropical island nirvana bettered nowhere on the continent.
Then, there's the best seafood and chilli-spiced cuisine in the whole region. Maputo, one of Africa's most attractive cities, has good museums, interesting architecture and a relaxed café culture. Inland find wilderness, local people intrigued by your presence in their country, great game parks and vast lakes.
The country used to attract more visitors than South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia combined! It has pulled together after the immense struggles presented by a deep civil war and flood in 2000 (which covered 8% of the country at one stage). It is now looking forward united and with new optimism.
Experience the magic of a Mozambique holiday or combine with a safari in neighbouring South Africa, Zambia or Malawi. There's no time like the present, so give it a try!
