Mozambique is the hidden quiet corner of the east African coast. Yet it has tropical white beaches second to none and recovering safari destinations after a long history of civil war and poor governance which makes it an excellent location for those wanting exclusivity and uncrowded wildlife viewing.

There is some excellent conservation work in reserves such as Gonarezhou National Park (managed by Frankfurt Zoological) and Gorongoza which is showing a lot of promise. These are top reserves and worth visiting for incredible game viewing and scenery.

For me, Mozambique is the icing on the cake of a Southern Africa safari - some of the remote islands off the coast boast all the best of any Indian Ocean beach getaway with a variety of accommodation options on offer. I often joke with my guests - you have had your safari - now you need your holiday - Mozambique coast is just that!
