In central Mozambique lies a park often described as “Africa’s greatest restoration story.” Gorongosa National Park covers over a million acres, stretching from the Rift Valley floor with its seasonal floodplains and lakes, up to the mist-shrouded slopes of Mount Gorongosa. This remarkable variety of habitats makes it one of the most biodiverse places on the continent.
So, you’ve made it to Inhambane.
Maybe you caught more than one flight.
Maybe you rubbed shoulders with the hustle and bustle of Maputo (and that’s just the airport! ).
Maybe you cruised in from the tranquil shores of Vilankulos.
Or maybe you flew in by helicopter — because hey, why not?
For those who dream of escaping the beaten path, where pristine wilderness and rugged beauty remain untouched, Chimanimani National Park is Mozambique’s answer. This is not a typical safari destination; it is a place for the true adventurer, a remote mountain sanctuary that demands respect, self-sufficiency, and a thirst for authentic, untamed nature.
The 2024 Impact Report from the Bazaruto Center for Scientific Studies (BCSS) showcases a year of significant progress in marine research, education, and sustainability in Mozambique.
Vilankulos is a popular tourist destination. It has a beautiful bay and is the gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago, a stunning group of islands and marine national parks.
Mozambique is famous for its beaches and rightly so. With stable warm weather, clear Indian ocean, abundant wildlife and minimal tourists there are some heavenly beaches to be found in Mozambique.
Bilene is a resort centred around a huge lagoon. The lagoon is the real draw here and unlike the often wavy sea beaches, allows for access to warm, calm waters. A perfect place for fishing, power boating, kite surfing and paddle boarding. The lagoon is huge so there is no issue with all of these activities sharing the water together.
Inhaca is an island in the Maputo bay. Santa Maria is the very end of the peninsula within the Maputo National Park. Both are popular tourist destinations and once you know how, are easily accessible.
Tofo has a headland protecting its beautiful bay. That makes for a choice of still water and areas with waves, according to your preference. It is a well known surfing destination. There is a wonderful and eclectic range of stores, accommodation, restaurants and activities.
Maputo has its own national park, only an hour from the city. Previously called the Elephant Reserve, the park has received substantial investment over the last couple of years and offers good facilities for day and overnight visitors, whilst retaining a wilderness feel.
