Mozambique - activities - Countries Guide

Diving
Mozambique offers some of the best diving in southern Africa with warm waters, varied and abundant marine life, uncrowded and uncommercialised sites and generally good visibility. The most popular location is the Bazaruto archipelago that has outstanding diving and snorkelling opportunities, including Manta Reef, Two-Mile Reef, Vengies, Rainbow Runner Reef and the Greek Temple. The waters offshore of the Inhambane area are also a snorkelling and diving paradise with pristine reefs and an abundance of manta rays and whale sharks. During the winter months (June to September) there is a chance of close-up encounters with the migrating humpback whales. Operators in Guinjata Bay offer boat trips to snorkel with the whale sharks. Inhaca Island is also a popular destination with extensive coral reefs.

Fishing
Mozambique offers some of the world's best fishing and some of the most challenging big game fishing in southern Africa, particularly around Guinjata Bay and the deep waters of the Mozambique Channel. Marlin, sailfish and other huge fish weighing over 1,000 pounds (454kg) can be caught, however a catch and release system is encouraged to protect the natural resources. A number of centres along the coast also offer rock, surf and fly-fishing.

Honeymoon and Wedding
A honeymoon in Mozambique is unique, combining sea-side romance with exotic African adventure. Imagine waking up early for a Big 5 safari, and then spending the afternoon languishing on a beautiful white beach... This is an unusual and romantic honeymoon destination from which newly-weds can start their new life together. Mozambique Honeymoon Things To Do A honeymoon in Mozambique ensures secluded and romantic experiences, including private beach dinners and relaxed island picnics. Enjoy horse riding together along the Vilanculos beach front, snorkelling just off the Bazaruto Archipelago, or sipping champagne and watching the sunset from a dhow in Pemba Bay. A Mozambique honeymoon offers couples much-desired privacy in a number of luxury hotels, resorts, beach chalets, lodges and wilderness camps. This romantic experience is further enhanced by spas offering unimaginable relaxation, a vast selection of restaurants for candle-lit dinners, and a few social spots where couples can play pool or spend time chatting to the locals. Mozambique has many gorgeous honeymoon locations, often linking beach and bush destinations, but Benguerra Island, in the Bazaruto Archipelago, is one of most popular. An Indigo Bay, Pemba or Matemo Island honeymoon won't disappoint couples either, featuring Portuguese colonial structures and some of the best diving and snorkelling sites on earth.
