Mozambique
The Pearl of the Indian Ocean
Mozambique’s beaches are the main pull for most travellers. Endless swathes of white sand sweep dreamily along the coastline, palm-fringed freshwater beaches hug Lake Malawi and the Quirimbas Archipelago is a remote paradise of azure waters, mangrove forests and community-based conservation projects. The waters teem with colourful fish, whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins and turtles, and miles of unspoilt coral gardens offer some of the best snorkelling and diving on the planet. Further afield Mozambique offers great surfing, big game fishing, catamaran charters and traditional dhow safaris.
Safari lovers will enjoy the now fully rehabilitated Gorongosa National Park which is home to elephant, lion, zebra, buffalo, wildebeest and more than 300 species of bird – a veritable garden of Eden! Meanwhile the Chimanimani Mountains provide scenic landscapes for walking, and Ibo Island, with its faded colonial charm, offers an unmissable dose of history warmed by community spirit.
A paradise of white sand, azure waters, wildlife success stories, rich heritage and exquisite boutique boltholes, Mozambique has earned its reputation as the ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’.

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.
