Easy Holiday Plans in Nampula Part of Mozambique Tour

It is easy to plan a holiday in Nampula as you can use it as a steppingstone to other regions on your Mozambique tour. We suggest that you combine your holiday to Nampula with a few days on the historic and cultural Ilha de Mozambique, not far offshore from the mainland. 

Holidaying in Nampula is like travelling off the beaten track – it can be time-consuming but once you are there, be grateful for the remoteness and beauty that surrounds you. Enjoy a popular day trip on a cruise out to Ilha de Mozambique, or Mozambique Island, only 3km offshore. Check out the fascinating ruins of ‘Stone Town’, grand old buildings that were built from the coral rock on the island. The island was once an important trading link between Asia and Europe for slaves, spices, pottery and gold.

The most impressive building on Ilha de Mozambique is the imposing Fort São Sebastião, which stands on the northern tip of the island. Many agree that this commanding, defensive structure, built with limestone shipped from Lisbon, is the most formidable fortress in Africa.

Then, a trip down south to Bilene to relax on a stunning beach and try water sports galore on a flat, clear lagoon. Easy holiday plans with our help and we tailor make your package deal to save you time and money.
