Mozambique is located in Southern Africa. It is bordered to the North by Tanzania, to the East lies the Indian Ocean, to the South is South Africa and Swaziland and to the West is Zimbabwe and Malawi. Mozambique consists of 19 million inhabitants of whom 30% live in the urban centers of the capital city Maputo, Beira and Nampula. The indigenous groups form 99% of the population. Portuguese is the official national language, however there are over 60 languages spoken through out the country.

Mozambique features 2500km of pristine beachfront on the mainland, with a number of good natural harbors.
If you love isolated places, conservation, safaris or activities like fishing and diving, keep an eye on the remote Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado, where one of Africa’s most exciting new eco-ventures is taking shape.

In an untouched area, the Cabo Delgado Biodiversity and Tourism Project will offer a rare combination of big game safaris and tropical coastal activities while funding comprehensive conservation and community development initiatives! Cabo Delgado has been declared among its most important African conservation projects.

Mozambique has an exceptional biodiversity, with over 15 different land habitats, including endangered coastal forest. Viable game populations include Elephant, Buffalo, Hippo, Lion, Leopard, Wild Dog and several Antelope species.
A marine survey revealed rare habitats such as sea-grass beds and found coral reefs that are among East Africa’s richest, with diverse fish life and endangered species including turtle, humpback whales, dugong and whale shark. It makes Mozambique one of the world’s most fascinating places for diving and snorkeling.

Mozambique is also a great adventure for 4×4 enthusiasts. There are more than enough 4×4 routes for the rough and tumble brigade although the less adventurous can explore the island in random 2 wheel drive car.
Investment in the road infrastructure has ensured that visitors can now travel further than in the past and is allowing visitors to the country more options for their beach holidays.

Several small island paradises can be found off the coast, including the Bazaruto Archipelago made up of five islands, some of which are protected national parks. The islands offer beautiful beaches, abundant bird and marine life, and lovely coral reefs.
Fishing is world class and includes salt water fly-fishing and big game fishing for marlin and sail fish (tag-and-release)
Over 1200 species of fish have been identified in the coastal waters of Mozambique.

Mozambique has been included in a vast transfrontier park incorporating wilderness reserves in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Called the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, it is the world’s largest reserve and infrastructure for visitors.
