Mozambique
Why Mozambique is special
With an extension of coasts bathed by the Indian Ocean, Mozambique combines dream beaches, safaris in unknown places and a culture typical of a country, which the Portuguese once had.
It has three unrepeatable areas, the Quirimbas Archipelago, located to the north, Ilha de Mozambique, in the center of the country and with a history that captivates, and the Bazaruto Archipelago, with its 5 main islands, one of the few viable populations in manatees of the world and some coral bottoms of great wealth.
This fascinating country has wildlife, mainly in its best known national parks, Limpopo, which borders the Kruger in South Africa and further north, Gorongosa, which after the war was completely devastated and has a very promising future, thanks to the conservation efforts.
One of the most important points in Mozambique is Tofo, from where you can go out to do dives to see reef mantas or alfredi manta, with their almost 7 meters in size, as well as sharks, turtles and whale sharks, which also go to these shores.
Maputo is a city with a lot of history, a port city of Portuguese colonial architecture and capital of the country. It has the Maputo Elephant Reserve, a reserve located on the coast and where many families can enjoy this amazing pachyderm.
Mozambique is a journey in itself or easily combined with the countries of southern Africa and southern Tanzania.
