Mozambique Holidays
Everything that's great about Africa
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.
