Mozambique

Africa's Indian Ocean secret. Remote archipelagos, pristine reefs, and barefoot luxury on some of the world's most beautiful beaches.

Why Mozambique

Mozambique remains one of Africa's best-kept secrets. While the Maldives and Seychelles draw the crowds, this 2,500km coastline offers something rarer: untouched beaches, world-class diving, and a genuine sense of discovery. The Bazaruto and Quirimbas archipelagos are home to some of the continent's most exclusive island resorts.

What makes Mozambique special is its combination of Portuguese colonial heritage, Swahili culture, and pristine marine environment. The underwater world here rivals anywhere on Earth, from whale sharks off Tofo to pristine coral gardens in the north. On land, the vibe is relaxed, the seafood is exceptional, and the pace of life invites you to slow down.

Experiences

  • Bazaruto Archipelago — Island-hopping and snorkeling in marine reserves
  • Quirimbas Islands — Remote northern islands with world-class diving
  • Tofo Beach — Whale shark and manta ray encounters
  • Ilha de Mocambique — UNESCO World Heritage island town
  • Vilankulo — Gateway to Bazaruto with beach restaurants
  • Dhow sailing — Traditional sailing at sunset

When to Visit

The dry season (April to November) is ideal, with calm seas and excellent visibility for diving. June to October is peak season. December to March brings rain and cyclone risk, but also warmer water and whale shark season in the south.
