best places to visit in Mozambique
Maputo
Maputo is the capital and most populous city of Mozambique, located near the southern end of the country, within 120 km of the Eswatini and South Africa borders.
The city was raised to the place of the first city after the Portuguese drained the surrounding swampland. The grand, imperial likes of the railway station (Casa do Ferro) and rings of wide boulevards decorated with palm trees, made this place a small unit of Europe in Africa. However, Maputo has long been reclaimed by the locals here, and today the town is known for its enthralling bazaars that pulse with chatter and burst with East African batik, its raucous hip hop bars, and that mouth-watering fusion of Keralan and Arabic foods in the eateries!
Gorongosa National Park
Gorongosa National Park is located at the southern end of the Great African Rift Valley in the heart of central Mozambique. The more than 4,000 km2 park comprises the valley floor and parts of surrounding plateaus as well as rivers originating from nearby Mount Gorongosa.
The rolling savannah and grassy hills here have been a designated reserve since the days of Portuguese rule when they were a private game reserve for the colonial leaders of the day. In the 60s the spot was converted into a fully-fledged national park, and now it’s hailed as perhaps the finest safari destination in the country. Here you can see bouncing bushbucks, elephant herds, waterbucks, crowned cranes, wild warthogs, and more.
