Simon Capstick-Dale explores the various adventures that will keep holidaymakers busy on Mozambique—from sea to shore

Simon Capstick-Dale
Land Of Smiles

After 16 grim years of civil war, Mozambique and its enchanting islands are firmly back on the travel map, having reclaimed the reputation of southern Africa’s beach, diving and adventure capital.

Though it’s been some time since the dust of civil war settled, only in the last two decades has Mozambique’s tourism industry seen a significant revival. The result: The Land of Smiles has earned its rightful place on the bucket list of the world’s most discerning travellers. Visitors today have stayover options ranging from bed & breakfast guesthouses and beach lodges to 5-star resorts and private villas—the choice is yours.
