Overview

Boasting Africa's longest stretch of the Indian Ocean fronting the Mozambique channel, the country separates mainland Africa from the island of Madagascar, offering some of Africa's best natural harbors.

It is located in South eastern Africa with the ocean to the east, Malawi and Zambia to the north west, Tanzania to the north, Eswatini (Swaziland) and South Africa to the south west, and Zimbabwe to the west.

The north beaches, far from the urban centres such as the Quirimbas Islands and Bazaruto Archipelago comprising unspoilt coral reefs, abundant marine life including whale sharks and manta rays, marine sanctuaries and warm clean water, make this nation a top diving destination.

The country additionally has several national parks providing a counterbalance to the marine experience and is notably home to Ilha de Mozambique, a UNESCO world heritage site.
