DIVE INTO MOZAMBIQUE
Mozambique's sandy palm-fringed beaches and coral reefs of the Bazaruto Archipelago still qualify as one of the most beautiful places in Africa.
Despite the brutal civil war and the dramatic floods that ravaged this poor country, Mozambique has persevered. Finally, after almost a decade of peace and international effort to restore the country to its former state, Mozambique is returning to its rightful place as one of the jewels of Africa. Maputo, Mozambique's capital, boasts interesting colonial architecture and is the best place to enjoy Mozambique's famous LM prawns!
