BEAUTY AND THE BEACH: The pristine dunes of Bazaruto Island are surrounded by sandbanks and turquoise waters
ARIADNE VAN ZANDBERGEN
Stretching over 2500km from South Africa in the south to Tanzania in the north, Mozambique’s coastline is dotted with idyllic islands, lined with picture-perfect white-sand beaches lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Dive into an underwater world of colourful coral or snorkel the spectacularly clear waters that teem with tropical fish. Get active big game fl shing or try your hand at a host of watersports, from sea kayaking to kitesurfing. Spend a lazy day picnicking on a shell-strewn beach before setting sail on a creaky old dhow to watch the sun set. Or discover the country’s diverse history and culture in atmospheric stone towns.
