Mozambique
About: Mozambique is a southern African nation whose long Indian Ocean coastline is dotted with popular beaches like Tofo, as well as offshore marine parks. In the Quirimbas Archipelago, a 250km stretch of coral islands, mangrove-covered Ibo Island has colonial-era ruins. It’s also a diving and snorkelling destination, as is Bazaruto Archipelago farther south, with reefs protecting rare marine life including dugongs.
