The beaches up the coast are fantastic. Tofu was a great 'getway' resort. Vilanculos was a lovely village and the Bazaruto Islands were some of the best islands ive ever been on.The roads are in a very bad way in Mozambique which makes travelling fun.
The name of the country, Moçambique was first given to Ilha de Moçambique, a tiny island that was the stronghold of Sultan Moussa Ben Mbiki (or perhaps he was the founder of the Muslim community there, nobody really knows) who controlled the island when Vasco da Gama first stopped there in 1498. It rapicly became the most important European settlement on the East African coast and the Portuguese corrupted his name to Moç-am-bique. everything

Maputo's Market is a must. Here you may feel real Africa.Costa do Sol Restaurant with its beautiful palmtrees nearby and the coast at sunset.Amire the streets of this city with its Portuguese Colonial Houses.Inhaca is a quite and nice island. Inhaca women and kids dancing at Inhaca Beach during the night. Their bodies shown by the bonfire.
When visiting Maputo,the Market - Mercado is a must visit.*** Fresh produce, seafoods and curiosities. *** it's in the City Centre and surrounded by old and new, a stones throw from the Railway Station
Go to Manta Reef-for diving, this is one of the best sites I've been to. More marine life than I have ever seen in one area. Sound sof Mantas calling-if you aren't lucky enough to see them. (best reached from Jangamo) Warm sun on my back, clean sand under my feet.
try to go to the rural areas (especially in the provinces far from the coast).As far away of the biggest cities, as pure and distant becomes life and people. But Mozambique has so many beautiful places to visit that it´s obvious you can't ignore the amazing coast and islands and all their power of atraction. If you try to rent a car and simply drive along the national roads you will see how different and unexpected things are from a city like Maputo, for instance. Along these roads you will always find someone walking for hours and carrying something in their heads (like women do), disappearing in the middle of the green landscape in direction of a typical african house.
walk along the long beaches after a hot day in the cool ocean breeze in the moonlight a stunning ocean,and untouched beaches with marine life bursting with colour...and seafood that is the best in the world

Lord Jim may seem normal at first- for a volunteer. He has a bucket shower and a squat toilet and he lives in a concrete house without running water. But what isn't apparent right away is that Lord Jim boils his shower water before bathing to mix with the regualr, cooler water festering with mosquitoes in buckets in his shower room. And he doesn't even offer his guest the same treatment- until the guest (me) asks, 'Why are you boiling water Lord Jim?' Then he'll be all too happy to tell you why, and if you ask for the same he'll even boil it for you. He may even share the shower with you to save water- but I never asked for fear of a positive reply.
