Holidays

Mozambique is a country on the Indian Ocean coast of Southern Africa. Considered the new Maldives, the Mozambican coastline is nearly 2500km long. Along the coastline are remote islands and deserted beaches bordered by lagoons and coral reefs.

Mozambique holidays are made up of beach, city and safari. Mozambique holidays can be off the beaten track retreats, wild safaris, island hopping safaris, and exclusive honeymoon getaways.

Mozambique has 10 provinces that can be grouped into the following three regions: Northern Mozambique, Central Mozambique and Southern Mozambique. The best Island destinations in Mozambique are clustered in two widely separate areas: the Bazaruto Archipelago in the south and the Quirimbas Archipelago in the north.

Bazaruto Archipelago offers an island castaway experience with wildlife, turquoise waters and deserted beaches. Mozambique holidays in the Quirimbas are among the most undiscovered islands in the world.
