Overview
Stretching over 2500km along the East coast of Africa, this beautiful region is the perfect beach experience. Tropical waters of Bazaruto Island and Tofo beach, the perfect destinations to spend a few days of sea and sun and pure tropical relaxation. As we kick off the Escape to Mozambique tour we leave Maputo behind us as our route takes us past the many villages and coconut, sugar cane and cashew plantations to the beautiful palm lined beaches of Barra Beach. Relax on the gold beaches of the Indian Ocean or explore the reefs offering excellent opportunities for diving or snorkelling or spend the day exploring the iconic beach destination of Tofo, with it’s charming market, popular beach bars and beautiful beaches. Relax on the beach, go horse riding or discover the underwater world on an ocean safari where you can snorkel with whale sharks or scuba dive and watch a manta ray cleaning station in action. Continuing along the magnificent coastline we make our way to Inhambane, a former slave trading port with it’s historic streets, charming market and many sidewalk cafes before setting of for Vilanculos. Vilanculos is the base from where we board a traditional dhow and sail across to the Bazaruto archipelago where you’ll eat fresh seafood on the beach, wiggle your toes in white sand dunes and snorkel in aquarium like conditions. As our time up north comes to an end, we begin the journey back towards Maun and a late afternoon sundowner and walk on the beach at Chidenguele ends our time on the pristine beaches of Mozambique. After 7 days of exploring the coastline of Mozambique, our tour comes to an end upon arrival in the capital city of Maputo. For those who want to explore this Portuguese influenced city, we suggest adding on an extra night or two.
