Recommended Activities In Mozambique

Scuba diving, swimming, snorkeling, deep sea fishing and diving in the clear waters of the Indian Ocean to see the rich marine life of over 1000 fish species that lives in the coral reefs along the islands make Mozambique an ideal destination for the traveller in search of more than just R&R. The game parks offer opportunities to see bird and animal life in their natural habitats while Nampula province offers magnificent domes and peaks for the avid rock climber and trekker.

The markets in Mozambique are famous for their typically African ambience, the colour, noise and splendid crafts available add to their charm. Local crafts and indigenous art can be purchased from shops and stalls in these markets in most of the country’s cities and tourist areas.  Items popular with visitors include fearsome looking African masks, carvings and ornaments made of mahogany and ebony wood, soapstone, shell and wire and wood jewellery, malachite jewellery and curios, pottery, textiles, musical instruments, native paintings and basket ware. Tourists are advised not to purchase animal skins, corals, shells and ivory as it is only encourages poaching.
