Mozambique offers striking diversity between paradisiacal coasts and wild lands. Your itineraries can alternate between diving in the Quirimbas archipelago, exploring the UNESCO-listed island of Mozambique and safari in the renascent Gorongosa park. Two-week trips allow you to grasp this ocean-continent duality, while three weeks enable a more contemplative pace. Private travel with English-speaking driver-guide or small group of maximum 10 people adapt to this territory still preserved from mass tourism.
