Mozambique in East Africa is a country that has it all. From picture-postcard beaches to captivating wildlife encounters and mouthwatering authentic cuisine, a journey to the Eastern African nation guarantees an abundance of fun and excitement, making your holiday an unforgettable adventure.
Mozambique and the country's association with diving is one that draws many tourists to the Eastern African nation. The Bazaruto Archipelago in southern Mozambique, nestled within the sanctuary of the Bazaruto National Park, is easily the top choice when it comes to scuba diving. The 6-island archipelago boasts mind-blowingly beautiful white-sand beaches, which also add to your delight. Make your way to the welcoming seas and descend deep into the crystal-clear waters, where scores of underwater treasures await your discovery.
The slew of deserted islands peppered across the wide-open seas that lap the gorgeous beaches of Mozambique also makes the country one of the top destinations for island hopping. Those vacationing in North Mozambique could embark on their adventure in the 32-island treasure trove of the Quirimbas Archipelago while those in the south have the 6 incredibly idyllic islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago. Both of them are protected Marine National Parks and treat you to an undoubtedly exciting adventure.
It goes without saying, no trip to Africa would be complete without experiencing its world-renowned wildlife. While the likes of South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya may bask in the glory of being Africa's top safari destinations, Mozambique also has its share of wildlife treasures that make for an experience that's just as fantastic. The crown jewel of Mozambique, Gorongosa National Park in the Great Rift Valley, is the country's most visited national park and is home to a wide variety of wildlife. Hop on a mighty safari jeep and head to the dense wilderness, where all kinds of wildlife, from lions, elephants, buffaloes, and zebras to a variety of antelope, await your arrival.
With a remarkably long coastline fronting the majestic waters of the Indian Ocean, the picture-postcard beaches of Mozambique are absolutely unmissable. Moving to southeastern Mozambique, the string of beaches of Tofo are, without a doubt, the country's finest set of beaches. Frolic on the sugary white sand, lounge under the swaying palms, and feast your eyes on the breathtaking seaside scenery.
Things to do in Mozambique may be plenty, but your experience would hardly be complete without sampling the Eastern African nation's mouth-watering cuisine. Embark on an exploration of local cuisine at one of the finest hotels or resorts, including the likes of Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort, and experience the finest of Mozambique's tantalising tastes.
