Mozambique travel is a great option for adventurers because there are so many unique opportunities available. From hiking its rocky mountains to meeting local sea creatures, everyone will be able to find a challenge to throw themselves into.

If you have ever dreamed of swimming with sharks, then look no further than Mozambique. Its location on the Indian Ocean means that its warm seas are full of all kinds of wildlife, from humpback whales to whale sharks. These sharks are giant, docile creatures, and this area of the Ocean is one of the best places in the world to spot them, and help conserve wildlife.

If sharks are too scary for your tastes, why not join a dolphin or turtle conservation project? Mozambique is an ideal place to volunteer in marine conservation, as volunteers are always needed to do research, monitor coral reefs, and collect data on sea creatures like manta-rays, turtles, and dolphins. Projects like these allow volunteers to watch the wildlife and scuba dive to their heart’s content- and maybe even take a PADI diving course?  

If you would rather venture away from the coastal zones, there are plenty of opportunities to go hiking during your Mozambique travels. The country is home to some impressive mountains, which offer spectacular views that are possible to climb in one (gruelling!) day. Mount Namuli is the most popular among climbers, and it is possible to reach the summit in about four hours. However, be aware that there is no public transport to the mountain, so you will either need to hire the services of a guide or be prepared to spend a few days walking from Gurúè and camping along the way. Make sure you visit Namuli in the dry season, as it can become dangerously slippery during Mozambique’s winter.

If you are a fan of horses, another option would be to try a horse safari. This is a great opportunity to combine caring for horses with exploring the beautiful towns and beaches of Mozambique, as well as assisting with riding lessons and anything else you fancy!
