Complete guide to Mozambique

Mozambique stretches 2,470 km of coastline along the Indian Ocean, from the Zambezi delta to the dunes of Ponta do Ouro. From our agency in Maputo, we see travelers arriving for the sandbanks of the Bazaruto archipelago, the corals of Quirimbas, or the silence of Niassa and Gorongosa reserves. The country blends Portuguese colonial architecture, Bantu languages, piri-piri spiced cuisine, and marrabenta rhythms.

We typically structure itineraries around four main zones. The south (Maputo, Inhambane, Tofo) remains the most accessible, with its beaches and whale sharks from November to March. The center, around Beira and Gorongosa park, attracts those wanting to spot elephants and lions in a savanna rehabilitated after the civil war. The north (Pemba, Ibo, Quirimbas archipelago) requires more logistics but offers coral islets still rarely visited. The interior, from Lake Niassa to Tete, retains a raw character, largely untouched by tourism.

A coherent journey rarely lasts less than 12 days—long enough to combine a coastal sector and a land park, or to pair Mozambique and South Africa. The dry season, from May to October, remains most convenient for roads and diving. Our English-speaking team on the ground tailors each itinerary to your dates and pace.
