We feature Mozambique primarily as a destination to be combined with Southern Africa: South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, or Zambia. Most often, this takes the form of a Safari & Beach style trip, but stand alone holidays to Mozambique can also be organised.

A hidden gem on the East African coast, Mozambique is a relatively undiscovered – and therefore unspoiled – beach destination. The islands in the Indian Ocean offer some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world – with sea life including dolphins, whales, turtles, and a range of colourful fish and coral. White sandy beaches meet with the turquoise sea - only a 2 hour flight from Johannesburg, this is an excellent choice for an add-on to an African Safari.

• Stay at an eco-boutique lodge on one of the southern islands … take a sailing boat to a secluded spot for an afternoon picnic and spend the afternoon snorkeling amongst the reefs.

• Dive at one of the nearby reefs – the colourful marine life and coral is amongst the best in the world. In season, whales can be seen breaching, dolphins can be seen from the lodge and the sea is warm!

• Enjoy sumptuous seafood feasts – caught locally and always fresh.

• Take a trip in a dhow at sunset – the way locals travel on water.
