Mozambique in Southeast Africa is bordered by the Indian Ocean, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland and South Africa. A colony of Portugal for 500 years, Mozambique is only just beginning to be discovered as a great holiday destination.
With a 1500 mile coastline fringed by magnificent sandy beaches and transparent waters Mozambique has much to offer the adventurer. Wander around tiny, Mozambique Island, with its colonnaded archways and stately colonial-era buildings. Discover the Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique's only protected marine area and explore its national parks.
Best time to visit: May to November
The cuisine of Mozambique is strongly influenced by Portuguese cuisine. The staple food is a maize porridge and meat or vegetable stew, rice, millet and cassava.

There is no simple or straightforward way to travel through Mozambique
Van taxis that stop often to pick people up and will try very hard to overcharge you if you don't already know the price, and you'll still overpay, that's a guarantee. These vans are not in good condition, and they are usually filled to way over capacity, driving on bald tires on bad roads.
If you bring a car through, chances are you'll rent it in South Africa first. Most companies won't let you bring a car rental to Mozambique but a few will. In those cases, make sure you have the proper documentation that allows you to drive across the border. Or get ready to be stopped and fined for flimsy reasons.
