Mozambique may be famous for its dazzling array of islands and endless white sand beaches fringing the Indian Ocean, yet this southeast African country has much more to offer.
Considering that the country is relatively new to tourism in comparison to its Indian Ocean counterparts, Mozambique offers an extraordinary array of luxury holidays, experiences and cultural highlights. It’s the perfect destination for a beach, sailing or scuba diving holiday in Africa with outstanding locations to embark on fishing charters.
As a former Portuguese Colony that gained independence in 1975, Mozambique has a colourful history. Islands including Ibo Island and Ilha de Moçambique that lined the old spice trade route still feature impressive colonial architecture influenced by the Arabs, Portuguese, French and Indians. Ilha de Moçambique, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to some of the oldest European buildings in the southern hemisphere.
