Feature Island

Regional Information

Mozambique's long eastern coastline along the Indian Ocean is a Mecca for divers, fishermen and beach lovers. A shoreline dotted with dhows reveals the country's waterbound history and the longtime tradition of fishing in Mozambique. The coast includes beaches bordered by lagoons, coral reefs and numerous archipelagos, like the Bazaruto or the remote Quirimbas Archipelago. The many small islands in the Quirimbas offer a wealth of marine life and truly unspoilt beaches. Tourism is picking up in Mozambique, but independent travellers are rarer than package tour groups. On a private island in Mozambique, rest assured, you'll be avoiding the throngs. You're more likely to be sitting on a pristine beach than a bus full of chattering tourists. The Mozambiquan people are extremely warm and friendly, earning their country's reputation as the land of smiles.
