Mozambique

Mozambique resortMozambique has 2,500 kilometers of pristine, palm-fringed coastline, gently lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. A variety of hotels and lodges provide relaxed accommodation, ranging from cozy to five-star. Easily accessible from South Africa is Ponta do Ouro at the southernmost tip of the country. Traveling north, there are beautiful beaches near Maputo, including a surfer’s paradise at Praia da Macaneta. Gaza province, north of Maputo, is characterized by coral reefs and lagoons, with famous beaches at Bilene and Zongoene (at the Limpopo river mouth). Inhambane hosts a range of superb, isolated beaches like Guinjata Bay while Sofala province offers resort facilities near to the port city of Beira - most easily accessed from Zimbabwe. The northern provinces of Zambezia, Nampula and Cabo Delgado are graced by white sand beaches and crystal-clear, blue waters.

The Bazaruto Archipelago is one of the most popular tourist areas in the country, situated off the coast of Inhambane province. The four islands that make up the archipelago are perfect for getting away from it all and offer superb water-sports and deep-sea fishing. Beautiful Inhaca Island is situated in the bay, only 34 kilometers from Maputo and is accessible by boat or aircraft. Mozambique Island is a UNESCO world heritage site with a fascinating history and a rich variety of architecture - some of the buildings here are constructed from coral. Ibo Island was once an important Portuguese trading post. This lovely island can be reached by boat from Pemba in Cabo Delgado province.
