Mozambique has a terrific standoff for scuba divers, anglers, boaters, and beach fans. It is a country located on the Indian Ocean coast towards the south of the African continent, where it neighbors several South African countries including Zimbabwe. It has many of the honorable architectural buildings established by the colonialists within the country during the colonial era. Mozambique features a mostly tropical climate, and it has upheld its African ethnic heritage, as shown by its artistic creations, music, and long preserved traditional cuisines. The official language of Mozambique is Portuguese. However, many people speak English in the capital Maputo and in touristy areas while other languages spoken locally are Swahili and Nyanja.
Most people visiting Mozambique mostly connect from Johannesburg in South Africa to Maputo. Nevertheless, you can also board an airplane in Kenya, Tanzania, or Portugal to fly directly to the Vilanculos International airport in Maputo. Train transport is also available from neighboring state of Malawi. There is only one train line, which connects Nampula in Mozambique with Cuamba in Malawi near the border of Mozambique with Malawi. If you opt to use a private car to enter Mozambique from South Africa and Swaziland, original registration documents are important. You can also use a dhow from Mikindani Port in Tanzania to move to any of the ports in Mozambique.
Accommodation in Mozambique is in the forms of inexpensive guesthouses, hotels, backpacker lodges, self-catering homes, lodges, and camping sites. The low-end hotels in Mozambique are mostly located in the rural parts of the country, and they charge at least five US Dollars per night. On the other end of the high-end hotels, Mozambique hosts some of the most incredible, and expensive, hotels and resorts in the world. Tofo Beach, Maputo, and Pemba are the best places to find nice tourist lodging for tourists that can afford high quality accommodation. Secure campsites are available in many towns at the coast and villages in case their chiefs accept your permission to do so.
