Mozambique

Mozambique has had a chequered history. The first inhabitants were San hunter and gathers followed by the Bantu speaking people who migrated from northern Africa to settle in the plateau and coastal areas. Vasco da Gama claimed Mozambique as a Portuguese colony in 1498, and it remained so until the country’s independence in 1975. Civil War destroyed much of the beautiful country between 1976 and 1992. Since then there has been huge efforts to recover from the conflict and rebuild the country, with tourism being a vital part of the economic process.
 
True African culture is to the fore in the Art Deco-inspired capital, Maputo. Well-preserved Portuguese colonial architecture is everywhere in this Indian Ocean port. Many turn-of-the-century buildings are in the downtown jacaranda-lined Baixa neighbourhood. The bronze-domed CFM Maputo Railway Station, for example, was completed in 1916.
 
With over 2500 km of un-spoilt beaches Mozambique is the ideal secluded beach destination. The world-renowned coral reefs and marine reserves are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, diving and sunset sailing. The reefs of the Bazaruto Archipelago are home to over 1200 species of marine creatures including the rare Dugong. The deep channels that flow off the coast of Mozambique offer some of the best Big Game Fishing for Marlin and Sail Fish in the world.
 
The Gorongosa National Park is one of the wildest and most unspoilt national parks in Africa where visitors can have a true wilderness experience.
And for food lovers, Mozambique is famous for the quality of its fresh seafood. The Portuguese influence is felt in dishes such as Peri-Peri (hot and spicy) Prawns and Peri-Peri Chicken
