Luxury Mozambique family tours
Mozambique offers tropical beauty and tranquility, without the crowds. This Indian Ocean nation is known as a less-visited beach destinations, giving families a real sense of exploration and exclusivity.
The southern coastline, which features a handful of luxury lodges, is extraordinary. Just off Mozambique’s shores, the Bazaruto archipelago boasts some of the world’s most pristine marine environments, with crystal-clear waters, vast coral reefs, diving and snorkelling. The archipelago’s incredible biodiversity includes five species of sea turtles, over 2,000 species of fish and the rare dugong, or sea cow. The annual humpback whale migration is also a spectacular sight, and our travel designers can arrange for you to go whale watching in a traditional wooden dhow.
Our bespoke family holidays in Mozambique will typically include time spent on the white sand beaches of the remote coral-fringed Quirimbas archipelago. And, national parks like Gorongosa (known as the “Serengeti of the south”), for unforgettable safaris to spot lions, leopards, painted wolves and zebras.
What sets Mozambique apart is its unhurried, laid-back atmosphere and its rich culture. Centuries of Portuguese, Arab and African influences are evident in architecture, cuisine and music. You’ll hear marrabenta played everywhere – a mix of traditional African rhythms and Portuguese folk music – and the country’s peri-peri prawns alone are worth the journey.
Speak with a dedicated travel designer who will listen to your interests and passions, add their own first-hand insights and curate the perfect tailor-made luxury Mozambique family tour.
