Idyllic Islands, Beautiful Beaches & Adventurous Wildlife Watching
Mozambique is one of my favourite countries for its unique vibe, culture and spirit, its beautiful coastline and idyllic islands, its atmospheric towns and its wild bush interior. While it is not a safari destination as such, there are some wonderful wildlife experiences to be had. My two favourite parks are Gorongosa National Park, where you can spot animals in a beautiful setting while learning about local community conservation initiatives, and Maputo National Park, which protects a lovely section of coastline as well as a healthy population of elephants. Underwater safaris are also excellent. The Mozambican coast is home to several species of sea turtle and you can dive and snorkel with whale sharks and manta rays.
