Destination Dossier

Mozambique is Africa's Indian Ocean queen — 2,500 kilometres of palm-lined coast, two extraordinary archipelagos (Bazaruto and Quirimbas), and the slow conservation triumph of Gorongosa inland. Portuguese colonial heritage, prawns and piri-piri, and beaches that demand a hammock.
