With lengths and lengths of rugged coastline, azure still waters surrounding remote tropical islands, vibrant, bright culture and arguably the biggest comeback kid in terms of national parks, Mozambique is truly a unique destination. If diving, snorkelling, fishing and kayaking are your thing, then without a doubt this is the destination for you. Travelling by road will ensure fresh fruit, vegetables and huge bags of locally sourced cashew nuts are proffered up by street vendors with equally huge smiles. Alternatively you can charter in to touch down on a perfectly private, sandy airstrip.
Inland, the stunning, vast, Gorongosa National Park offers a warming story of recovery and conservation with some truly remarkable endemic wildlife and a remote, wild location to channel your inner explorer. Back on the Indian Ocean waves, Vilanculos, Quirimbas archipelago and Bazaruto island offer some serious barefoot castaway-chic and the pristine, virtually untouched Mozambican shores of Lake Malawi afford the ultimate private retreat.
