Mozambique Tourist Guide From Discount Hotels

Only newly opened to tourists you can enjoy the unspoiled beauty of the country when you visit Mozambique. You will be enthralled with the rich wildlife, the warm bathing waters and the historical monuments in the cities and on the islands. The hiking is exceptional in the mountains, but if you want to stay in the lowlands, you can experience large stretches of sandy beaches shaded by palm trees.

Spend some time in Maputo, the capital city. The atmosphere is very relaxed where you can stroll the city streets, stop in to many restaurants and enjoy shopping at the market. There are also many museums and gardens in this city. When you leave Maputo, you might like to visit the world heritage site of Mozambique Island where there are many buildings dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries.

There are protected parks in the region of Beira that are open during the spring and summer. You will have to fly into some of these reserves, such as Gorongosa National Park where the bird watching is superb. This park is also home to elephants, buffalo, hippos, zebras and other animals native to Mozambique. Another such reserve is the Maputo National Reserve, where you will find a wider variety of animals.

Although the beaches of Pemba are very popular with tourists, you won't find them crowded. This town has lively bars and restaurants along with several beaches and coral reefs. There are many beaches and resorts along the long length of the country's coastline. You can enjoy diving and snorkeling as well as fishing. If you like birdwatching, you will think you are in paradise with the exceptional opportunities Mozambique provides. You should also bring your hiking boots if you like walking as there are plenty of opportunities for this activity in the cooler climate of the mountain areas.
