Picture yourself walking along the soft white sands of an idyllic beach while the warm, azure waters of the Indian Ocean lap gentle over your feet. Imagine a tropical island paradise with strings of beautiful islands scattered across the waters, glistening like precious jewels in the hot sun. Fantasize about swimming with whale sharks, scuba diving off pristine coral reefs or watching hundreds of turtle hatchlings make the frantic dash down the beach to the relative safety of the ocean. Now consider that this veritable paradise stretches for as far as the eye can see for over 2,500 km (1 550 miles) of the Mozambique Coast. And as if this wasn’t good enough, now consider that Mozambique has a number of mainland beaches and islands that are isolated and secluded, offering you the ultimate escape to an exclusive destination. You won’t find any golf courses or massive shopping centres here, just Mother Nature at her tropical best with a rich bounty of marine life that beckons you to share in her abundant beauty. There can simply be no better way to round off your African adventure after a fantastic safari in neighbouring South Africa, Botswana or Zimbabwe.
