Mozambique is often described as the unknown pearl of Africa, with its 2500 km of white beaches, vast areas of untouched bush land and large mangrove forests stretching along the Indian ocean coastline. The northern provinces of Cabo Delgado and Niassa are renowned for the Niassa Game Reserve and the Quirimbas National Park, and a trip to both will yield amazing experiences with nature including some quite incredible birdlife. Pemba and its surroundings offer turquoise seas, palm-fringed beaches, excellent diving, game-fishing and bush drives, whilst Mozambique also features several offshore islands featured by Destinology.
