Now in its eighth edition, Bradt's 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 Africa's 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
Africa's top safari destinations. Moreover, although one of the
continent's fastest developing tourist countries, it still offers
opportunities to experience 'quintessential Africa'. As Mozambique
approaches 50 years since independence, development boosted by one
of Africa's highest economic growth rates and a swift resurgence
following 2019's devastating cyclone are drawing tourists back to a
forest-clad interior descending to 2,500km of pristine,
palm-fringed coastline. Bradt's Mozambique reveals a country dotted
with natural, historical, cultural, and architectural wonders that
reflect a history that fuses exploration, trade, and culture.
Highlights include the UNESCO world heritage site of Ilha de
Mocambique, a 16th-century Arab and Portuguese trading post;
ancient rock art at Chinhamapere; adventurous journeys by train and
Arab dhow; the birdlife of Mount Namuli, accessed from the
tea-plantation town of Gurue; windsurfing in Pemba and surfing in
Tofo; and diving or snorkelling in biologically rich seas,
including around Bazaruto, home to some of Africa's last remaining
dugongs, five of the world's seven endangered sea turtle species,
and two thousand species of fish. 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 Bradt's Mozambique has everything you need to plan a
thrilling holiday.
