Safari and Beach Holidays in Mozambiquemozambique beach holidays elephant cartoon image

Mozambique beach holidays are probably the most unique beach holidays in the world, considering the amazing beaches the country offers. Long, palm-fringed beaches with sand so fine that it squeaks underfoot. Tropical islands surrounded by turquoise waters, where iridescent fish, dolphins and other creatures swim amongst pristine coral; this is the coastline and islands of Mozambique.

However, Mozambique travel, especially on the mainland, can be difficult. You will need a 4×4 if you intend to drive in Mozambique. Hence we concentrate mainly on beach holidays on the islands. We definitely favor the Bazaruto Archipelago. For self-drive safaris from South Africa we offer self-catering beach houses in Ponta do Ouro in Southern Mozambique.

The coastal town of Vilanculos acts as a gateway to Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago – a chain of four main islands: Bazaruto Island, Benguerra Island, Santa Isobel and Santa Carolina (formerly known as Paradise Island). A marine national park covers most of the archipelago, protecting the exquisite marine life in these turquoise seas. A beach holiday in these islands combines well with a safari to southern Africa.
