Mozambique is the definitive bush-and-beach destination. Inland, Gorongosa is hailed as one of the greatest wildlife restorations on earth, while the immense Niassa Reserve protects some of Africa’s last true wilderness. Along 2,500 kilometres of Indian Ocean coast, the Bazaruto and Quirimbas archipelagos offer dugongs, whales, coral reefs and dhow-sailed island lodges. Pair a Kruger or Gorongosa safari with a barefoot island finale for the perfect Southern African combination.
