On it way to recovery from a brutal civil war that swept the nation in the mid 1990’s, Mozambique is a nation influenced by a mix of multiple cultures, from local tribes to Mediterranean, Portuguese, and Arab traders. It is situated in sub Sahara Africa on the shores of the Indian Ocean. Sheltered by Madagascar from the brunt of the cyclones in the Indian Ocean, the shores are relatively calm and waves lap gently onto the beautiful palm fringed beaches. Popular as a vacation destination for South Africans, you too will be able to swim or snorkel through coral reefs, or see the gentle grazing dugongs. The Bazaruto Archipelago is a must-see in particular for water lovers. The four secluded islands offer some of the top wreck diving locations in the world. Also be sure to stop at Mozambique Island once a Portuguese trading post and fortified city. It is known for its remarkable architectural unity, thanks to a consistent building style, and use of consistent building materials since the 16th century
