Top Experiences of Mozambique

1. Explore some of Africa's Best Dive Sites

Mozambique's coast is lined with coral reefs, most of which are in excellent health. Clear warm water and 1200 recorded species of fish make Mozambique a top diving location. Head for the Bazaruto Archipelago for great reefs and the chance to dive with dolphins.

The coastal town of Inhambane is the jumping-off point for dive sites where you will see manta rays and, if you are lucky, the rare aquatic mammal: the dugong. Excellent diving is also offered in the remote northern Quirimbas Archipelago, fast becoming a popular diving site, and mighty whale sharks frequent the waters between Ponto do Ouro and Ponta Malongane in the south.

2. Experience Mozambique's Arab and Portuguese heritage

Stroll around any of Mozambique's towns or cities and you will notice old Mediterranean style churches, terracotta-tiled villas and ornate archways juxtaposed with the Arab dhows and flowing djellabas of the northern coast where the influence of Islam is particularly marked. What better way to finish a hot African day than with the cool ocean breezes while enjoying a sunset sail on a dhow?

3. Go Deep Sea Fishing

Head for either the Bazaruto or Querimbas Archipelago, strap yourself into a fishing chair and set off in search of big game fish. Marlin, sailfish and tuna are among the most sought-after catches, and the waters are home to, among others, bonito, wahoo, dorado and barracuda. Many operators now operate a catch-and-release policy.

4. Unwind on a White Sand Beach

After you have got up before dawn to go on game drives and driven the rutted, parched roads of a burning hot game reserve, book a holiday on one of Mozambique's many beaches and spend the day lazing in a hammock, getting up only to go snorkelling in crystal clear water.

Whether your budget allows for the luxury lodges of the Bazaruto Archipelago or Querimbas Archipelago, or the more budget-friendly beaches of Tofo or Barra on the resort coast of Inhambane, you are bound to find the perfect way to unwind.
