MOZAMBIQUE

Barefoot paradise

Mozambique has become an increasingly popular destination – especially for honeymooners and those who desire barefoot luxury without the crowds. Mozambique stretches for 2500km on the south eastern coast of Africa and has miles of deserted, idyllic beaches flanked by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

Tourism has developed over recent years and despite an increase in accommodation, many of the options available remain isolated and untouched. Increased flight schedules mean the whole country is now much more accessible and it combines wonderfully with other countries in both East and southern Africa.

Off the South coast of Mozambique, Benguerra Island is one of the 5 islands that make up the Bazaruto Archipelago. Some of the best scuba diving and snorkelling in the world is available off Benguerra’s shores with the surrounding coral reefs rich in sea life. It is famous for its unspoiled beaches, remarkable dive sites and excellent fishing (subject to a strict ‘catch and release’ policy). The archipelago is one of the last remaining habitats of the endangered Dugong: a pale, voluptuous sea mammal fabled to have made bygone mariners believe in mermaids.
