Mozambique Holidays
A holiday in Mozambique is one of the best kept secrets of Southern Africa. Affectionately named the “pearl of the Indian Ocean”, Mozambique beckons those with a romantic heart and an adventurous soul with the temptation of rustic beaches, unspoilt land, and the promise of exploration. Secluded, yet only 45 minutes from South Africa’s Johannesburg, it draws a stark contrast to city life, as roads meander off to become sandy dirt tracks lined with native wildlife.
The Bazaruto Archipelago is a sweeping coastal spectacle; the shimmering sea, sprinkled with uninhabited islands, mingles with sandbars in the most stunning formations of natural beauty. Dive beneath the glittering waters to meet the local marine life. Here, the luxury is in the simplicity and the understated; authentic, boutique beachfront cabanas with thatched roofs welcome travellers.

Gorongosa National Park
Going on safari is almost a rite of passage when you are visiting Africa. If the potential opportunity of seeing the Big 5 is simply too good to pass up, you are in luck. The forests and savannahs of Gorongosa National Park are home to lions, elephants and hippopotamuses. The wetlands surrounding Lake Urema see flocks of opportunist water birds fishing for their next meal.

Diving in Mozambique
It’s no wonder that these crystalline waters are a firm favourite among divers. You won’t have to venture much deeper than the water’s surface to be transported to a jewel coloured underwater world. Turtles are ancient inhabitants of these waters, so take your time and you might just happen upon one floating by.
