Ilha de Mozambique is the quintessential Unesco World Heritage site destination. It was once a trading post for gold, ivory and slaves for Portuguese ships plying the route to India. It is Africa’s version of Cuba: a tropical climate with a mix of buildings where time has virtually stood still, where an exciting collection of religions and cultures live side by side, and much natural beauty that is only now starting to emerge from decades of relative isolation. The old part of the island is full of historical and architectural features. Numerous buildings, some constructed of coral, date back to the 16th century. An intriguing and fascinating island with a stunning coastline of warm water, nodding palm trees, excellent seafood and a place largely undiscovered by tourists.

Once the Eden of Africa, and considered to be one of the best game parks in Africa, the Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique is returning to its former glories after years of civil war and mass poaching. Once one of the most diverse reserves in Africa, with many endemic species, Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique became a virtual wasteland in the 1980's when rival armies competed for meat and ivory during the long civil war. This is not the place to be if you are interested in box-ticking the big five, but it is absolutely the place to come if you want to experience African "otherness" and just you and the bush.
