This formerly Portuguese colony lies on the southeast coast of Africa along the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. You will see colonial style architecture and lodges are often built in rustic style. The climate is tropical, so you may find exotic foods, an abundance of fruit and sea food. Beautiful white beaches, turquoise waters and mangrove forests lure you to the sea shores where angling, surfing and coral diving are popular sports. Huge turtles or dugongs may be observed on the coast. A boat trip on a dhow will be an unforgettable memory.
