Mozambique

Escape to the enchanting coastal paradise of Mozambique! Dive into crystal-clear waters teeming with colorful marine life, unwind on pristine beaches fringed by palm trees, and indulge in delectable seafood cuisine. Immerse yourself in rich cultural heritage, explore historic sites, and create unforgettable memories in this hidden gem of Africa.

Mozambique boasts the longest African coastline on the Indian Ocean. The ocean gets calmer the further north one travels but offers great beaches, excellent scuba diving and tastiest crustaceans along the entire length. 

Mozambique can be reached overland from Southern Africa or by plane. A safari in South Africa is particularly easy to combine with remote islands with high-end lodges.

“Go to Mozambique! As long as you don’t expect to find flawless infrastructure, just go. Because this is a country where people have not quite grown accustomed to tourists. You still feel a genuineness that no longer exists in countries where tourism has been industrially developed.” , Henning Mankell (author of Wallander)
