Mozambique

The Bazaruto archipelago, Mozambique Island with its Portuguese fort and a long Indian Ocean coastline make this an uncrowded beach and diving destination. Atlas Lume suggests reading Mozambique through its landscapes, neighbourhoods, transport and living culture, with the context needed to plan with judgement rather than collect places.

Maputo works as a practical reference point, but every route should adapt to distances and season. The main language is Portuguese, the currency is Metical mozambiqueño and the generally recommended time to go is May to October.
