“Blessed with a palm-fringed, Indian Ocean coastline and idyllic archipelagos of tropical islands, Mozambique is home to many of Africa’s finest beach retreats and marine parks.“
Mozambique lies along the south-eastern coastline of Africa and boasts 2500 kilometres of pristine coastline, as well as numerous islands off the coast.
Secluded beaches with sand so fine that it squeaks underfoot; pristine deltas shaded in every hue of blue and green; mangrove forests lapped by warm ocean waves and cool freshwater lagoons – such is the incredible natural beauty here.
After a safari on the African mainland, a beach add-on in Mozambique is just the right thing for many travellers. Mozambique offers stunning, picture-perfect beaches, with powder-white sand, fringed with palms and turquoise water. Plus, plenty of small, remote islands to discover just the right places to relax, unwind and maybe discover the variety of marine life.
Regular flights from South Africa to Vilanculos, Pemba and Inhambane together with visa free entry for UK passport holders has made visiting the islands seamless and stress free. A combined safari in the Kruger National Park and a beach holiday in Mozambique has never been easier.
When To Visit Mozambique
The optimal time to visit Mozambique is from April to November, when the weather is favorable for a beach getaway. While coastal resorts are accessible year-round, it’s worth noting that December, January, and February are typically wet months that may affect your beach holiday.
For the best diving and snorkeling experiences, plan your visit between April and June or from September to November. During these periods, the conditions are ideal for underwater exploration and immersing yourself in the vibrant marine life of Mozambique.
