Mozambique

A country on the Indian Ocean coast of southeastern Africa, with a long coastline, coral-reef islands and Portuguese colonial charm.

Mozambique lies in southeastern Africa, on the Indian Ocean, with a long coastline, and its official language is Portuguese. In the south, Tofo is famous for swimming with whale sharks and manta rays, the Bazaruto Archipelago and the Quirimbas Archipelago in the north have white sand and coral reefs, and the World Heritage Island of Mozambique preserves a colonial-era old town. The capital, Maputo, has Portuguese-style architecture and a seafood market. The dry season (about May to November) has pleasant weather and is the best time to travel, while summer brings heavy rain and the risk of cyclones. Maputo International Airport is the main gateway.
