Mozambique has quickly become one of the new ‘it’ destinations with pristine beaches, exceptional diving and lavish eco-lodges. A perfect pre- or post-safari adventure, Mozambique is ideal for a honeymoon or family vacation. Sail a traditional dhow through mangrove forests or snorkel off one of the many uninhabited islands. The Portuguese influence is seen in the cuisine, where freshly caught shellfish is cooked in wine and peri-peri sauce, the main ingredient being a spicy South American chili pepper brought to Southern Africa by the Portuguese.
