Discover Mozambique

We've noticed a recent trend in beach extensions to Mozambique, with its beautiful white sandy beaches that are easily accessible from South Africa. Direct flights are available from Cape Town to Maputo, Johannesburg to Vilanculos or Maputo, and Kruger Mpumalanga to Vilanculos. For clients looking to combine their beach holiday with a visit to Kruger Park, Southern Mozambique beaches can be reached by road transfer from Nelspruit, Malelane, and Komatipoort.
