About Mozambique

Mozambique stretches along the southeastern coast of Africa, bordering the Indian Ocean for nearly 2,500 kilometres. The country encompasses diverse landscapes including savanna, river deltas, and offshore island chains such as the Quirimbas Archipelago. Its capital and largest city is Maputo. Portuguese remains the official language, a legacy of colonial rule that ended with independence in 1975. A prolonged civil war concluded in 1992, after which the country began a gradual process of recovery. Mozambique appeals to travellers seeking coastal scenery, wildlife, and a relatively off-the-beaten-path experience in eastern Africa.
