“A crossroads of civilizations, cultures and landscapes, influenced from the early days by nomadic tribes, Arab readers, British sailors and Portuguese colonials, then torn apart by over 20 years of civil war.  With new found peace, and a fast growing economy recently reopened to tourism, Mozambique offers the explorer a wealth of treasures in the form of untouched wilderness areas, natural beauty, deserted beaches and unique cultural heritage."

Safety
You should be aware of the risks of crime, poor road safety standards and minimal health facilities in Mozambique. However, as far as crime is concerned, Mozambique is a relatively low-risk country and the vast majority of visits to Mozambique are trouble-free. Keep a close watch on your possessions in busy places and keep all your valuables in a hidden money belt. Never drive at night and set off as early as possible so that you have as much time as possible to deal with delays. When dealing with officials, be friendly and patient and treat them with respect. They are likely to reciprocate.
