Mozambique - Useful information for your trip

Welcome to Mozambique, a marvelous country located in South East Africa, where dream beaches, wild nature and picturesque colonial cities await. If you are planning a trip, you might need to know that the north feature highlands cut by the Great Rift Valley, and the central and southern part are mainly flat and traversed by several rivers. The climate of Mozambique is tropical and uniform all around the country.

Why travel to Mozambique? The reasons are many. The charming natural landscapes inhabited by endemic animal and vegetable species should already be reason enough. The flora includes tropical trees, growing lush all across the country, although the southern area, features arid and desert stretches here and there. Some of the most common trees are baobab, mahogany, ebony, bamboo and tamarind. Also the fauna is very rich and includes several primates, lemurs, elephants, rhinos, zebras, buffalos and antelopes, but also many marine species, such as humpback whales, dolphins and manta rays. The richness of the maritime ecosystem of Mozambique makes this country suitable to practice snorkelling and scuba diving. If you are keen on these water sports, you'll find your paradise here.

In order to fight the phenomenon of extinction and safeguard its natural jewels, Mozambique has established several national parks, natural reserves and protected areas. Some of the most famous and important national parks are Banhine National Park, Gorongosa National Park, Zinave National Park and Limpopo National Park. The latter is part of a project for the creation of a protected area among Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

But Mozambique is also a country rich in culture and traditions, which will make your holiday even more thrilling. For example, you'll find that its inhabitants love music, which features Bantu and Arabian influences. There is no ceremony or public event where traditional music is not played. Get lost in the streets of the cities, such as Vilankulos, known for its market of fruits and vegetables and the small boutiques, or explore the land of the Matswas, inhabited by fishermen, or travel to Bazaruto archipelago, a group of five islets with white sandy beaches and dunes shaped by the wind, offering really picturesque and idyllic landscapes.
