warm welcome to the fi rst edition of Destination Mozambique.

Mozambique has long been famous in

southern Africa as the land of good-

tasting prawns and this has become our

fl agship product now that we are a tourism

destination of choice. when it comes to

hospitality, Mozambique is also known as

the land of smiles and warm people. we

are proud of being Africans.

with around 2,700 km of coastline,

Mozambique offers a number of price-

less holiday destinations with white sand

beaches along the warm, clear waters of

the Indian Ocean and, of course, a great

and unique variety of seafood. Our fauna

and fl ora offer an incredible opportu-

nity for those who want their holidays

to combine bush and beach. To make it

happen, you can count on our national

airline, LAM, which operates daily domestic

and regional fl ights.

PARTNERShIP

In Mozambique, we see the tourism

industry as a primary sector which can

greatly contribute to the GDP of our

country. The partnership between public

and private sectors has become stronger

and this has led to the creation of a healthy

business environment. As a result, Mozam-

bique has become a tourism destination for

international investors including, among

others, Radisson, the Rani Group, the

Serena Group and Southern Sun.

In September 2010 we witnessed the launch

of 1time airline operations in Mozambique

with six weekly fl ights Johannesburg/

Maputo/Johannesburg. This is a low-cost

airline operator and therefore we expect a

great boost in the number of people visiting

Mozambique, mainly from the neighbouring

countries via Johannesburg.

In September, Mozambique will host the

2011 African Games. Most of the games will

take place in a superb new stadium. we are

all excited and looking forward to welcoming

you to our beautiful country when you arrive

at Maputo International Airport with its

newly built international terminal. It will also

be a great opportunity to show to all our

visitors the best of our people: ThE SMILE.

rom the hustle and bustle of an urban mecca just hours away lies an undiscovered jewel named Mozambique. Diverse in its heritage, raw in its beauty and undeveloped in many ways is Mozambique. Inhabited by gentle, friendly people whose warmth is exceeded only by the smouldering sun that provides beautiful, near-perfect weather all year round.

of new hideaway properties sprang up on

previously deserted islands.

Mozambique began its renaissance as a

tourism destination by providing a short-

stay, optional add-on for visitors completing

safaris in South Africa, Botswana and

Zambia. Today, the country is very much a

destination in its own right, thanks to places

such as Gorongosa National Park, which

competes directly with its neighbours in

terms of landscape and wildlife viewing.

Mozambique is a reassuringly safe and

secure destination – and also one whose

tourism infrastructure is being progressively

improved. For example, Maputo’s new

International Airport Terminal opened in

November 2010 and the former air force

base at Nacala is being converted into a

commercial passenger airport, due to open

in 2012, that will lead to fresh possibili-

ties in the still-to-be-discovered north of

the country. Because of low passenger

volumes, the cost of internal flights

remains on the high side.

This is a vast country, north to south, with

immense distances to be covered if travel-

ling by car and a road network that, whilst

DiscoveryA JOURNEY OF

The Jewel of Africa enjoys a splendid coast-

line – covering 2,580 km and unsurpassed

in the world – for all who dare to make the

voyage of discovery in search of adven-

ture and freedom amidst a fusion of raw

natural beauty and abundant wildlife.

For the most part, the coast and the islands

remain a pristine wilderness, untouched by

anyone except a few fishermen, especially

in the far north. Visitors can walk for hours

without seeing another person, let alone

another tourist.

GROwTh

For much of the first decade of this

century, Mozambique was one of the

world’s fastest growing tourism destina-

tions, coming apparently from nowhere

to post impressive growth rates as a series

significantly better than before, has some

way to go in terms of matching other parts

of southern Africa. But visitors can expect

more road improvements in the near future.

Improvements, too, are being made else-

where. It has to be said that Mozambique’s

national parks, which make up about 12

per cent of the nation’s total land area,

have been through some tough times.

Mozambique has six national parks (two

of which are marine parks) and six national

reserves and the current outlook is one of

intense optimism as restocking takes place

in some parks and the work of nature

assists elsewhere. There is still much to do,

but areas such as Gorongosa and Limpopo

and the Maputo National Reserve have led

the way and, in many ways, have become

star attractions.

PERSPEcTIVE

As a destination, and in contrast with its

predominantly English-speaking neigh-

bours, Mozambique offers a different

perspective. The nation’s Portuguese

heritage and influence is still part of

everyday life in terms of language, cuisine

and culture. Away from the cities, tour

operators report that Mozambican culture

is a major draw for tourists, with home

visits featuring home-cooked meals being a

particular favourite.

FAMOUS

Mozambique is also famous for its deli-

cious and inexpensive seafood. Many

South Africans will drive to Maputo at the

weekend just to enjoy the grilled prawns

and freshly caught fish – and, of course,

to drink locally brewed 2M and Laurentina

beer – at iconic restaurants on Maputo’s

main beach road the Avenida Marginal.

Away from the cities, most visitors head

for the island resorts, among which the

most popular are Bazaruto, Quirimbas

and Inhaca plus mainland resorts such

as Pemba and Vilanculos. Then there

is Mozambique Island, a Unesco world

heritage Site and a firm favourite with

visitors who like to mentally turn back

the clock to an earlier time as they stroll

through its cobbled streets and marvel at

its eclectic array of mosques and churches.

If time stands still here, it most certainly

doesn’t elsewhere in the country as

Mozambique enjoys one of the world’s

fastest growing economies. This is especially

evident in Maputo, where the city is dotted

with smart new and recently refurbished

hotels. It’s a sign, if one were needed, that

Mozambique’s time has come.

PROTEcTED AREAS NETwORK

In Mozambique, a protected areas network

has been set up to conserve the natural

ecosystems, habitats, landscape features,

archaeological paintings, biological and

ecological processes, biodiversity and

natural resources for the well-being of

present and future generations

The network provides ecosystem goods

and services for local communities living

in these areas and for visitors as well

as wildlife and domestic species. The

Prot ect ed Area s

Mozambique has the ideal natural condi-

tions for ecotourism. highest temperatures

are in the rainy periods. The dry season

in the centre and north of the country

lasts for about six months, whereas in the

south the dry weather lasts for six to nine

months. The rainy season is normally from

October to April.

The capital, Maputo, in the south of the

country, is linked by daily flights with the

provincial capitals and with South Africa.

Portuguese is the official language, but

English is also widely spoken in the larger

towns. The official currency is the Mozam-

bican metical (MZN). US dollars and other

currencies can be exchanged at banks and

bureaux de change.

main ecosystem goods and services in

these areas are provisioning, regulating,

supporting and cultural services for human

beings and other species. The ecosystem

goods and services of the protected areas

network are the main touristic attractions

and a framework for collecting financial

resources and developing protected areas.

The protected areas network consists

of six national parks and eight national

reserves, creating a system where wildlife

and habitats are totally protected. This is

supported by a system of safari hunting

areas throughout the centre and north

of the country, under varying degrees of

management and protection, covering

some 145,000 sq km. The protected areas

network accounts for over 17 per cent of

the total area of Mozambique.

wILDLIFE

wildlife in the rest of Mozambique is also

protected to varying degrees by national

conservation legislation (the Forests and

wildlife Act 1999 and the Forestry and

wildlife Regulation 2002). wildlife offers a

key opportunity for economic, social and envi-

ronmental development. It is very diverse and

includes insects, birds, reptiles, large herbivores

such as elephant, rhino, giraffe hippo and

buffalo, and intermediate-sized animals such

as eland, wildebeest, tsetsebe and kudu.

In the national parks and reserves only

synergetic activities are allowed such as

spiritual relief, cultural tourism, filming,

photography, nature observation and

contemplation, walking trails, sport fishing

and spotlight, research and education and

ecotourism development, depending on

the natural conditions of each locality.

Sport hunting in Mozambique is regu-

lated by wildlife legislation. In protected

areas, the network comes under National

Directorate of conservation Areas (DNAc)

authority within the Ministry of Tourism.

Elsewhere, on game farms and in other

designated areas, it is the responsibility

of the National Directorate of Land and

Forestry under the Ministry of Agriculture.

Under the Ministry of Tourism, there are

11 safari hunting areas, six hunting blocks

in the Niassa reserve and four wildlife

community conservation areas where

development projects are in place and

sport hunting is allowed. These areas are

set aside for sport hunting, but they retain

a high degree of protection. These areas

cover a total of more than 75,000 sq

km. The sport hunting season in Mozam-

bique runs from 1 April to 30 November.

hunting quotas are allocated by the DNAc

individually to each safari hunting area

according to monitoring system data and

the performance of the hunting operator

in each concession area.

Some quotas are shared between the

Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of

Agriculture – for example, those for lion,

leopard, elephant and buffalo. It is govern-

ment policy to encourage sport hunting as

part of its strategic plan to develop tourism

in Mozambique. Ecotourism development

and sport hunting are growing rapidly in

Mozambique and the hunting conces-

sions and hunting fees have been on the

increase since 2001.

This strategy will help Mozambique to

become an African tourism destination of

choice in the years ahead. The administra-

tion of the national parks and reserves and

safari hunting areas is carried out by the

Ministry of Tourism through the DNAc.

any visitors to Mozambique seek no more than an opportunity to unwind on a discreet island escape – and Mozambique certainly does not disappoint. With its stunning 2,700 km long coastline – an almost unbroken string of dreamy, powdery white-sand beaches and dazzling turquoise waters – this is without doubt Africa’s number one barefoot destination.

when it comes to finding the perfect

hideaway, Mozambique has more to offer

than most. In fact, in so many ways, this is

the chic new ‘romantic escape’ destination

for young lovers and honeymooners.

Over the past decade, in a handful of select

and totally unspoilt locations, some truly

delightful properties have been created in

the form of understated resorts and unob-

trusive eco-lodges. These new and mostly

high-end properties have quickly won a

loyal following among discerning travellers

as Mozambique has sought to exploit,

quietly and carefully, its new-won image as

a pristine, eco-friendly destination.

EMPTY BEAchES

The three most popular islands or island

groupings – though very far from crowded,

thanks to an endless supply of empty

beaches – are: Bazaruto Archipelago,

ThE ISL ANDS

which is also a national marine park; the

Quirimbas Archipelago, in the far north

and also part of a national park; and

Inhaca Island, almost at the far end of the

country and an easy hop from Maputo.

RELAxING

But, when it comes to serving up a relaxing

experience, away from it all, the mainland

has destinations to match. They include

Vilanculos, the stop-off point for Bazaruto;

and Pemba, gateway to Quirimbas.

Getting to these seemingly remote loca-

tions may not always be easy – although

all of them are just an internal flight and a

short boat ride away – but that is part of

the fun. It’s also one of the reasons why

Mozambique has remained largely undis-

covered – at least by mass-market tourism.

Long may it remain so.

water sport activities include kayaking,

skiing, parasailing, canoeing and kite

surfing. Keen anglers can try their hand

at fishing for kingfish, grunter and other

species, while, out in the ocean, the Manta

reef is waiting to be explored.

cULTURAL

Those looking for a more cultural experi-

ence will enjoy the rhythm of the annual

drum and timbila festival in Quissico, which

attracts people from all over the world.

cONVENIENcE

currently under construction, the resort

offers contemporary accommodation. Basic

supplies can be purchased in Quissico,

where the local shop provides milk, sugar,

tea, coffee, fish, soft drinks and other

items. In addition, fresh produce such as

fruit, cashew nuts, tomatoes, fish and

Portuguese ‘pau’ rolls can be bought from

the local market.

ozambique’s capital city is famed throughout southern Africa as THE place to go for a good time. It’s also a great place to eat – or just to relax on the beach.

At weekends, Maputo is a favoured

destination of South Africans (Nelspruit,

for example, is less than 200 km away) and

the shortish drive is considered more than

expect to find great-tasting food – espe-

cially seafood, although the city is not short

of other cooking styles – at any number of

places, and at reasonable prices. In terms

of cuisine, Maputo’s main hotels also set

high standards, but one should expect to

pay a little more.

NIGhTLIFE

Maputo’s nightlife matches the range and

quality of its restaurants. The city’s reputa-

tion as a place to let your hair down goes

back to colonial times and Mozambicans

really know how to enjoy themselves. The

balmy climate and the happy-go-lucky

attitude of local people feed into the

national desire to have fun.

For the most part, Maputo is a safe city, even

late at night; but, as in so many other cities

around the world, it always pays to take

sensible precautions, such as hiring your taxi

from a recognised firm and not walking back

to your hotel if you are intoxicated.

worthwhile. For the South Africans, the

main attraction is the city’s famous cuisine.

They come to savour the fresh seafood,

especially the prawns, and to enjoy the

award-wining beers of Mozambique such

as 2M (pronounced ‘dosh-em’) and Lauren-

tina clara.

INSTITUTION

Located just 10 km north of Maputo on

the coast road overlooking the beach

and xefina Island is a restaurant that has

become something of a national institu-

tion. The costa do Sol is renowned for

its exquisite if somewhat traditionally

styled seafood, which comes as part of a

value-for-money menu. The family-owned

restaurant has been around for 60 years

and it stayed open even during the worst

days of the civil war.

But while the costa del Sol may be

Maputo’s most iconic restaurant, it is by

no means the only good one. Visitors can
