Independent since 1975, this country might come as a surprise with a great number of stunning natural beauties. And not just because of Gorongosa National Park. Book a flight to Mozambique.

The sands of the Indian Ocean

For starters, the islands of the Bazaruto and Quirimbas archipelago are little pieces of paradise, ideal for diving, snorkelling and enjoying unique natural parks. Down south, Ponta do Ouro's beach is very popular among surfers. And one must not forget the incredible Inhaca Island, just a few minutes outside Maputo.

The historical places

In capital Maputo, on the south, the list of monuments and important places is big. But also the city of Beira, on the central province of Sofala and home to writer Mia Couto, is a fundamental port and has great transport connections to the rest of the country and the countries around Mozambique.
