Mozambique

Back to Countries

Mozambique is a huge country with vast potential for travellers interested in culture, wildlife and the coast. It is an increasingly popular choice for people wanting a luxury beach holiday in an unusual destination, and happily, it seems to be becoming a focus for ecotourism and fair trade principles as regards tourism.

Tourism is fast developing here with several conservation & community projects working well with beach resorts and wildlife organisations.  To the north there are several pristine wild areas that are opening up to the tourist trade.

See our accommodation pages to your left to see the stunning places you could stay on your Mozambique beach holiday.
