Bordering Tanzania in northern Mozambique, Niassa National Reserve is recognised as one of the last true wilderness areas left undeveloped in Africa. The landscape is characterised by clusters of woodland and grass savannah scattered with inselbergs (small, isolated mounds). Mozambique's biggest conservation area and one of the largest on the continent, Niassa extends over an area twice the size of Wales. It protects an amazingly rich and varied wildlife population, including lion, leopard, antelope, elephant, warthogs, buffalo, hippo, wild dog, hyena and most notably, three endemic species - Niassa wildebeest, Boehm's zebra, and Johnston's impala. Take advantage of the opportunity to view over 600 hippos who call the reserve's Lugenda River home.
Located just off the northern coast of Mozambique, the Quirimbas Archipelago dots the glittering Indian Ocean. It is renowned for its rich history and natural beauty featuring white-sand beaches fringed with low-key resorts and offers some of the best diving in the country. The archipelago is home to some of the most unspoilt beaches and coral reefs found anywhere in the world, featuring an abundant array of Mozambique's spectacular marine life. The Quirimbas Archipelago is comprised of a chain of over 25 coral islands, which escaped the 20th century with almost no development. Many of these islands fall within the Quirimbas National Park, providing a marine sanctuary for whales, dolphins, and endangered dugong. The area is known for its high-quality dive sites, many with exceptional drop-offs.
