Mozambique is a beautiful country located on the eastern side of Africa. It borders the Indian Ocean, and it is in the process of rebuilding itself economically, especially on the coastal regions. There are over a 1000 miles of shoreline, and predictably, the primary attraction for vacationers is the sea. The water is invitingly warm and you will be able to find all of the usual activities such as surfing, wind surfing, snorkeling and even deep- sea game fishing. The beaches are considered to be world class, and as a result, it attracts millions of tourists every year.
The culture of Mozambique is considered to be unique. This is because it is a mix of African, Arab and Portuguese cultures. This is reflected in the food, music, arts&crafts of this region. This is especially true of the coastal towns. In a way, the culture of Mozambique could be described as European mixed with tropical weather. If you go inland there are several game reserves where going on safaris is an option. This is also an excellent way to take a close look at nature. From all of this it is easy to see why Mozambique is fast becoming a nation of vacationers as well as new settlers from around the world.
As far as traveling to Mozambique is concerned there are two ways to do it. Either you can drive from neighboring South Africa and Zimbabwe or fly. Most of the major airlines of the region have regular service to Mozambique. If you plan on traveling by land based vehicles, then the borders are open from 7 AM to 7PM. If you rent a car, then make sure it is allowed to go cross borders; some rental companies do not allow it. Just remember that driving without a shirt or wearing sunglasses while driving is against the law.
