MOZAMBIQUE
LAND OF SMILES
Mozambique
Mozambique has plenty to offer, from world-class beaches, diving and deep-sea fishing, to an interesting history and culture and exciting adventure opportunities. It is also home to some genuinely spectacular Indian Ocean island resorts, and has over 2500km (1500 miles) of clean sandy beaches
and rugged coastline - all just waiting for you to enjoy and explore.
The capital Maputo makes an interesting stopover, retaining much of its Portuguese charm, fused with modern Africa. Visitors to the city can enjoy the refreshing sea breeze at the many restaurants serving locally caught seafood, and one of the regions great colonial-era hotels – The Polana.
We offer accommodation choices in the Bazaruto Archipelago, further north in the Quirimbas Archipelago, on the mainland and Maputo itself. The lodges and hotels are of a good standard and are typically 20-50 rooms in size. Mozambique is for those looking for an exclusive African beach experience, to get away from it all and to enjoy solitude and adventure.
