Mozambique:
Mozambique beckons, with unspoilt, palm-lined beaches and world-class
diving and fishing. With its 2 500 km coastline fringed by extensive
coral reefs, it offers natural splendour and an underwater spectacle
that is hard to match. The capital city of Maputo is a feast for
the senses, with its vibrant street life, bustling restaurants
and superb seafood. Along the coastline, crystal clear waters
with dazzling soft corals and a bewildering range of fish are
mesmerizing in their beauty. Forty km offshore, the Bazaruto Archipelago
offers some of the finest big game fishing, scuba-diving and snorkelling
in the world. Access to Mozambique is either by scheduled flight
to Maputo, or else by charter aircraft to your island destination.
