Mozambique
|
| Mozambique stretches for 2470 km along Africa's southeast coast and is nearly twice the size of California. Tanzania is to the north; Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to the west; and South Africa and Swaziland to the south. The country is generally a low-lying plateau broken up by 25 rivers that flow into the Indian Ocean – the largest is the Zambezi River. |

Why Mozambique? Mozambique is a new, up and coming holiday destination and many South African holidaymakers’ paradise. Endless unspoiled beaches, sand dunes, warm blue tropical water, luxury accommodation, colourful and vibrant, peaceful and friendly culture and lots of sunshine. The islands off Mozambique offer the perfect tropical island setting for your vacation and ideal for honeymoons.
The Bazaruto Archipelago, about 600 km north of Maputo, is a protected National Park and proclaimed Natural Heritage site - the islands are pristine and undeveloped - no roads, no shops, no noise - just natural beauty, deservedly known as the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean”. About 35 km long and at most 7 km wide, Bazaruto Island is the largest in the archipelago where you find the Pestana Bazaruto Lodge situated in a tranquil bay on the north side of the island. It has three different types of chalets; all with air conditioning and mosquito nets over the bed, most with sea view. Children up to 12 years are free if when sharing with parents.

Maputo, the capital of Mozambique came into existence in the late 18th century. The city was named Lourenço Marques after the Portuguese trader who first explored the area in 1544. In 1898, Lourenço Marques became the capital of Mozambique. After independence, the city's name was changed to Maputo. The long civil war left the city in need of restoration and even if much is done, you can still see some of the war scars but it is not long before Maputo is restored to its former glory. The post war political stability and economic reforms have led to improved facilities in the city - new shops and restaurants, hotels, nightclubs and improved public facilities will make your stay enjoyable. The Museum of the Revolution, National Art Museum, and the old Fort on Parca are some of the attractions of Maputo. Maputo perks up on Friday and Saturday evenings with late night parties and nightclubs that stay open till dawn.
The 5 star Hotel Polana located on the Bay of Maputo epitomises the luxury and hospitality of time gone by and is an extraordinary experience. Here you can enjoy an experience characterised by the magical mix of Colonial charm and African appeal with world-class comfort and service. The famous Polana is set amidst the swaying palms and landscaped gardens and situated in one of the most prestigious avenues of Maputo, close to Embassies, Presidency of the Republic, Ministries and main restaurants, ten minutes away from the city centre and the airport 'Mavalane International'.
