In a land of endless beaches and underwater attractions, activities in Mozambique break with convention. Whether you want to dive into serenity in an award-winning spa or fly across the waves, the things to do in Mozambique are as boundless as your imagination.

Elude the predictable and bring Robinson Crusoe to life, uncovering little known islands by dhow. Savour freshly caught seafood, laced with local spices while you relax on a deserted sand bank picnic. In Mozambique the terrain does the talking. Thunder across the sands on horseback, the tropical breeze rippling your hair. Float into staggering beauty under the waves and lose yourself in the unfamiliar diving Mozambique’s coral reefs. Do you dream of escape? Drift to sleep serenaded by the gentle ebb of Lake Malawi under the heavens in one of Africa’s most extraordinary sleep outs. These are just the start of the road for things to do in Mozambique. Ask our specialists to elevate your holiday beyond the norm. How will you choose to express yourself?
