About Mozambique

Mozambique, located in southeastern Africa, is a country renowned for its stunning coastline along the Indian Ocean, vibrant culture, and rich history. Bordered by Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Eswatini, Mozambique boasts diverse landscapes, including pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and expansive savannas. The country gained independence from Portugal in 1975 after a prolonged struggle, but it faced a devastating civil war that lasted until 1992. Today, Mozambique is rebuilding and developing its economy, with agriculture, fishing, and natural gas reserves playing key roles. Its cultural heritage is a blend of African, Arab, and Portuguese influences, reflected in its music, cuisine, and traditions. Despite challenges such as poverty and natural disasters, Mozambique is celebrated for its warm hospitality, vibrant festivals, and breathtaking natural beauty, making it a unique and captivating destination.
