Tourist Attractions & Monuments Mozambique

Mount Gorongosa joined the park in early 2011. The Park Restoration Project stressed the need to preserve the ecosystem of this 1,862 m mountain. It is easy to climb and the landscape is splendid from its coffee plantations. The Rangers organize the journey from A to Z. Bird watchers come here to hike to surprise some rare species. A guide is obligatory to run on the sides of this mountain because it is sacred. He will help you find the right path, and share the tales of Gorongosa.

From the top of its 2,419 m, Mount Namuli rises up and offers many hiking possibilities. But nothing's marked out. Before venturing out blindly, ask the villagers, as the risk of landmines persists. It's best not to go too far off the beaten track. The best is to be accompanied by a Macua guide, the ethnic group whose territory it is. Mount Namuli is a sacred deity for them and there are many legends and anecdotes about it. Take the opportunity to visit the surrounding tea plantations. What a setting!

Off the island of Mozambique, small islands emerge from the water. From north to south, the islands of Goa and Sena are easily accessible if you manage to find a boat or climb with fishermen. Make sure you know how to swim as most of them will not be able to help you in case of an accident. Deserted, the islands offer all the wild charm of nature. You can swim as much as you like: the sea is magnificent, of a transparent turquoise blue and of an incomparable cleanliness. Not far away, some reefs invite you to snorkel if you have your equipment.

There is no shortage of walks on the small island of Ibo. If you want to follow one of our suggestions, you will have to go to the East beach. You may not be able to swim there for sure, but small natural pools form with the tide and you can refresh yourself by enjoying the scenery. The moment and the setting are almost lunar. For the way back, do not hesitate to cross the rice fields, you will see that they give back to the landscape all its superb between March and June.

The Bazaruto archipelago is very busy during the high tourist season, and a little less so in the low season, as a minimum number of people is required to cover the 45-minute journey from Vilankulo in a powerful motorboat. In any case, the coastguards are waiting for you on the beaches to carry out checks. A formality, since all agencies and hotels charge for it. Snorkeling and diving are also subject to a supplement included in your excursion.
