Africa, Mozambique

Written by Helga McLeod Monday, 01 March 2010 09:07

Mozambique is popular with everyone because it has pristine beaches, warm Indian ocean, excellent hotels and holiday accommodation plus tourist activities like diving and fishing. Enquire from your GP about malaria risks in the area.

The gorgeous Mozambique has become a very popular travel destination due to stunning beaches, lagoons, coral reefs and tropical islands such as the Bazaruto islands often visited on luxury cruise ships. Mozambique is popular with both sexes as many fishing enthusiasts flock to places like Linene Island, while their female partners enjoy the sun and surf. It is also home to 2 of Southern Africa's longest rivers, the Limpopo and the Zambezi. It has warm humid coastal conditions with the dry season from April to October and a rainy summer from November to March (when Malaria is high-risk).

The Capital city, Maputo, is a most attractive city and well worth exploring. From here you can take a ferry trip to the Inhaca Island. Xai Xai is another attraction and as Gaza's capital it offers holiday-makers all they need in terms of shopping. More attractions include Ponto Du Ouro, Gorongosa National Park, The Bazaruto Archipelago (Marine National Park), Pemba (Papaya Paradise) and much, much more.

This African gem has plenty to offer its visitor in terms of accommodation, where sunny weather, exotic beaches and clear waters make for great diving. Hotels, resorts and other options all aim for holiday comforts and range between medium to exclusive in luxury.

Ask about tourist attractions at your holiday accommodation's front desk and enquire about malaria before travel. For more information on hot spots and transport, find your nearest Mozambique Info Centre after arrival.
