Hostelling Information

Country Overview

Dive in the warm, crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean; hike among the mysterious mountains of Namuli and Ugando; go whale watching; chill-out on white, palm-fringed beaches; see elephants, leopards and lions in the wild. From the cool mountains of the north to the pleasures of the south coast, Mozambique offers almost inexhaustible variety and beauty along with an exciting blend of African, Arab and Portuguese influences. Set on a cliff overlooking a bay, the charming capital Maputo tempts visitors with its Mediterranean-style architecture, wide avenues lined with flame and jacaranda trees and colourful markets. Mozambique Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site with picturesque cobbled streets, thatched-roof huts and a lively fishing community. The vibrant coastal town of Pemba beckons with its beaches and wildlife-rich coral reefs, while the five stunning islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park create a true tropical paradise that is home to the elusive dugong you may spot foraging among sea-grass.
