There are holiday destinations that deviate from the usual. This is a case for globetrotters, explorers and adventurers. Mozambique is a holiday destination that probably not everyone has noted on their inner world map. That's why we're shedding light on the whole thing and showing what a journey through the wilderness in East Africa could look like.
About Mozambique
Mozambique is a country in Southeast Africa. One that was once a colonial state of Portugal. Mozambique only gained independence in 1975, almost 50 years ago. Due to long unrest and civil wars, this country is considered to be very poor but at the same time inimitably beautiful. Anyone who travels here will receive a warm welcome. This is the nature of the locals towards tourists. Hospitality is very important. In most cases, those who travel here want to marvel at the unique flora and fauna and get to know foreign cultures. There are enough of them. The country is a good 800,000 square kilometers in size and home to an estimated 32 million inhabitants. The capital is called Maputo. Portuguese is still spoken. Payment is made in the currency New Metical. It is a mix of enchanting coastal sections and wild high plateaus that lie around 1000 m above sea level. The rainy season from November to April ensures that the biodiversity is indescribably beautiful. Nature feeds on this precipitation even in the dry season. That's just the savanna climate that prevails here.
Which tour is suitable for a camper?
Anyone traveling the country should set a few goals and plan a lot of time. A good starting point is the capital Maputo. It is easily accessible and perhaps the southernmost point of the trip. Nightlife and gastronomy are very important here. Then you have to decide. How about a visit to the Bazaruto Archipelago – consisting of 6 islands? The word paradise is an understatement. There are almost untouched coral reefs and rare animals to marvel at. A visit to the many national parks is also a must for nature lovers. The Gorongosa is one of the most beautiful of its kind and is located fairly centrally in Mozambique. This is particularly known because of the many bird species - there are said to be around 400. Apart from that, there are almost 50 amphibians in the forests, as well as lions, hippos and much more. Here the word safari almost takes on a new meaning. The camper is the ideal means of travel because it offers the flexibility you need. Leave the stress of booking various hotels, motels and the like behind you and enjoy the tour to the fullest without distractions. You will not regret it.
