Complete with in-depth coverage of transport  wildlife  history  culture and accommodation  plus invaluable practical advice and maps  this honest handbook will help you plan the perfect visit. Particularly useful is the selection of reputable local tour operators.  Mozambique is a country of two halves. The tourism-savvy south offers palm-lined tropical beaches  luxury lodges and diving to rank with the best in the world  plus the capital Maputo  a city oozing with Afro-Mediterranean flair. The undeveloped northern mainland  by contrast  is one of Africas last frontiers  with thrillingly vast game reserves and stunning coastal panoramas that draw intrepid travelers to those hankering after barefoot luxury.  With economy-boosting oil and natural gas potential on the horizon  Mozambique is on its way to reclaiming its standing as one of Africas top destinations. However  despite being one of Africas fastest developing tourist countries  it still offers the opportunity to experience the quintessential Africa. Having once stood in the ranks with South Africa  over twenty years of post-civil war development and one of Africas highest growth rates are drawing tourists back to its 2 500km of palm-fringed coastline.  Best visited between May and October  Mozambique is dotted north to south with natural  historical  cultural  and architectural wonders remnant of its varied history of exploration  trade  and cultural fusion. Highlights include the UNESCO world heritage site  Ilha de Moambique  a 16th-century Arab and Portuguese trading post  ancient rock art at Chinhamapere Hill  tea plantations and an exploration of Mount Namuli  itself the subject of a documented expedition by American climber and filmmaker Majka Burhardt. Meanwhile the coast  home to more than 2 000 species of marine fish and five of seven endangered sea turtle species  boasts a plethora of delights  from windsurfing to diving and snorkelling  not to mention some of the richest coral reefs in the world  home to over 1 200 species and five of seven endangered sea turtles.  With in-depth coverage and practical advice for all budgets  Bradts Mozambique is the essential companion for a successful visit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923925139509,"sku":"ByrdShop_1784770558","price":100.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781784770556.jpg?v=1794119378","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mozambique-bradt-travel-guide-9781784770556","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
