Where to Travel in Mozambique

Mozambique’s location on the coast of southern Africa means that it has a huge variety of stunning beaches, ranging from touristy beaches where your every whim is catered to to quiet, undiscovered shores. From its sprawling cities to the towering Mt. Namuli, you will be surrounded by Mozambique’s beauty, and find no shortage of ecosystems to play in.

Mozambique travel often start in it’s capital, Maputo. Often referred to as the “City of Acacias,” its yellow flowers brighten up every street. Maputo’s situation on the coast gives visitors amazing views across the Indian Ocean, and its skyline is full of impressive modern buildings, like the town hall and the tall thin spire of the cathedral.

Inhambane has a very different vibe, as it is a small city with only about 66,000 residents. Inhambane is known for its amazing nearby white-sand beaches, providing ample opportunity to scuba dive with all manner of sea creatures. It is even known as the Mecca of the whale shark world! In Inhambane, you’re also not far from the Bazaruto National Park, the largest sea park in Africa.

The Pemba Peninsula in the north is another small seaside city that’s popular with tourists, especially around the Wimbi Beach area. Pemba is one of Mozambique’s major ports, and its beautiful warm sea is the perfect spot for a wide range of water-based activities.
