Mozambique

The most beautiful archipelagos in Africa

Mozambique is a former Portuguese colony stretching from north to south for over 2,500 km, with a superb coastline that is still wonderfully preserved from mass tourism. It is a dream beach destination that easily combines with a more active safari itinerary in Tanzania, South Africa and even Mozambique itself, which is embarking on a policy to rehabilitate its natural wildlife areas, with great initiatives in the reserve of Niassa and of Gorongosa. For lovers of tranquillity, market-fresh cuisine, baobabs and palm trees fringing the sand, multicoloured fish and manta rays, the coast and islands of the archipelago of Quirimbas or of Bazaruto, will have everything it takes to win you over.
