A wind of Afro-optimism

Lake Niassa is not heavily developed for visitors and remains an authentic area of Mozambique despite the growth of tourism. This region is mainly populated by locals who primarily live off fishing thanks to the lake. They are settled all around in typical thatched-roof cottages. Gorongosa National Park is one of the most important nature reserves in Southern Africa. Many animals can be seen there, including the famous "big five." Get your cameras ready! During the safari, you can take superb photos of leopards, elephants, hippos, rhinos, and lions, among other creatures. Located northeast of Maputo, Zavora is a magnificent beach with a preserved coral reef. The marine life is rich, and it would be a shame not to dive there. On the Zavora coastline, don't miss the chance to admire the last lighthouses of Mozambique.
