The south coast of Mozambique is exceptionally beautiful - truly the archetype of palm-lined tropical beach nirvana - as well as boasting snorkelling, diving and game fishing to rank with the very best in the world. The fifth edition of Mozambique leads intrepid travellers from the undiscovered northeastern provinces to the coral island of Ilha do Mocambique, with its imposing fortress. Relax on a dhow, experience a sailing safari, admire Portuguese colonial Beira or follow suggested walks around the capital Maputo. With in-depth coverage of wildlife, culture and history, and practical advice on accommodation for all budgets, the Bradt guide leads the way. Philip Briggs has written and co-authored ten Bradt travel guides, and has contributed to numerous other books and travel and wildlife magazines.
