A little village on the shores of Lake Niassa where we caught the weekly ferry to the Malawi Islands

Fim do Mundo

Aptly described as "the end of the world", we spent 3 days crossing this dusty, yet picturesque, part of northern Mozambique by train and (very cosy!) chappas to make our way to Malawi

Ilha de Mocambique

Described to us as Zanzibar a couple of decades ago, we wished we could have stayed longer to stroll along the streets of the former Mozambican capital

Nampula

A quick pit-stop only, Nampula is the major city of northern Mozambique (where we did find some damn fine roast frango...)

Beira

Mozambique's second largest city with a strangely cool, retro 50s feel (and a lot of concrete). The city is looking a little rough around the edges, but despite this, we liked the vibe here, with the people as friendly as ever

Bazaruto Archipelago

Paradise on Earth, gin-clear waters... the works. Lured by the brochures, we had to check it out - and we weren't disappointed...!

Vilankulo

A large fishing village just next the blissful Bazaruto Archipelago, we spent a few days here enjoying the markets (and the final of the Champions League with a horde of football-mad Mozambicans!)

Tofo

A small village where the main attractions are underwater, this is the place where we decided to conquer the sea and get our scuba licence (& it didn't hurt that we had to live on an idyllic beach for a week)

Maputo

Strolling around the streets bearing the names of all the socialist leaders that ever existed, the capital of Mozambique was our first taste of a truly African city
