Mozambique

Mozambique is one of Africa's rising stars. It has an upbeat atmosphere, a kaleidoscope of fascinating birdlife, overflowing markets and a 2500km of beautiful coastline.

Our featured resorts lie in magical offshore islands within the gorgeous Mozambican archipelago; where world-class service, a tropical climate, unspoilt scenery and wealth of activities are just waiting to be discovered.

Sail on a dhow through mangrove channels, take an off-beat safari or dive into crystal clear waters teaming with 100's of tropical fish species, dolphins, whales, dugongs and marine sea turtles.

Mozambique is still largely unspoilt so visit it now before tourism really takes a hold.
