Philip Briggs - Mozambique (Bradt Travel Guide)

Now in its eighth edition, Bradts Mozambique remains the most established and sole standalone guide to this alluring African country. In-depth coverage of wildlife, history, culture, and diving and snorkelling is complemented by invaluable, up-to-date practical advice on travel and accommodation, presented in an easy-to-navigate geographical structure covering north, central and southern Mozambique.

Originally written by Philip Briggs, this new edition has been updated by Africa experts Huw and Kate Hennessy, authors of several previous Bradt guides. Mozambique is a country of two halves. The tourism-savvy south offers romantic tropical beaches, luxury lodges and world-class diving, plus the tree-lined capital of Maputo, a city oozing Afro-Mediterranean flair. In contrast, the less-developed north is one of Africas last frontiers, with excitingly vast game reserves and idyllic coastal panoramas that entice intrepid travellers and those hankering after barefoot luxury.

With its national park set-up expanded and refurbished, Mozambique looks set to reclaim its standing as one of Africas top safari destinations. Moreover, although one of the continents fastest developing tourist countries, it still offers opportunities to experience quintessential Africa. As Mozambique approaches 50 years since independence, development boosted by one of Africas highest economic growth rates and a swift resurgence following 2019s devastating cyclone are drawing tourists back to a forest-clad interior descending to 2,500km of pristine, palm-fringed coastline.

Whether you are a culture vulture or wildlife enthusiast, a watersports enthusiast or honeymooning couple, the in-depth coverage and practical advice for all budgets means that Bradts Mozambique has everything you need to plan a thrilling holiday.
