Mozambique has a terrific standoff for scuba divers, anglers, boaters, and beach fans. It is a country located on the Indian Ocean coast towards the south of the African continent, where it neighbors several South African countries including Zimbabwe.

Mozambique features a mostly tropical climate, and it has upheld its African ethnic heritage, as shown by its artistic creations, music, and long preserved traditional cuisines. The official language of Mozambique is Portuguese. However, many people speak English in the capital Maputo and in touristy areas while other languages spoken locally are Swahili and Nyanja.
Most people visiting Mozambique mostly connect from Johannesburg in South Africa to Maputo. Nevertheless, you can also board an airplane in Kenya, Tanzania, or Portugal to fly directly to the Vilanculos International airport in Maputo. Train transport is also available from neighboring state of Malawi. There is only one train line, which connects Nampula in Mozambique with Cuamba in Malawi near the border of Mozambique with Malawi. If you opt to use a private car to enter Mozambique from South Africa and Swaziland, original registration documents are important. You can also use a dhow from Mikindani Port in Tanzania to move to any of the ports in Mozambique.
