ABOUT MOZAMBIQUE

       

Maputo (previously called Laurenzo Marques) is the sprawling capital of Mozambique with a large harbour and population of about two million people.  In this area several rivers spill into the sea and two islands – Inhaca and Portuguese Island- lie just off the coats.  In 1898 central authority for the country was transferred from Mozambique Island to Laurenzo Marques.

 

The city quickly became established as the trade and industry centre and as a port to serve the gold fields of SA.  It was once regarded as one of the most fashionable cities in Africa but the war in the 1970’s and 1980’s ravaged the area and the once proud city and country was in terrible disrepair.  A lot has changed since then and the country is slowly reinventing itself and recreating some of its former glory.

 

Excellent Hotels, Restaurants and an exciting nightlife are the highlights of Maputo – it’s a city renowned for its colonial Portuguese architecture and impressive skyline.

 

 

Mozambique is a must for adventure seekers and 4x4 enthusiasts.  This country boasts with excellent fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling and other adventures.
