Mozambique

Mozambique is completely off the beaten track! Discover the historic charm of Maputo, the secluded beaches of Tofo and Vilankulos, and enjoy watersports, laid-back vibes, and untouched wildlife.

1. Africa is our home

We know it from the farthest corners, and that results in amazing trips. We put them together by venturing out there ourselves. Believe us, you won't find these experiences anywhere else!

2. Local experiences

That means you'll visit local people in their villages and communities. Hike with the Maasai, cook with your host family in a homestay, and cast a line with traditional fishermen.

3. You decide

So, what are you in the mood for? We'll custom-tailor the entire trip to your wishes. And you can count on us along the way, even at night.

4. Travel responsibly

While you enjoy your dream trip, you'll be contributing to the development of local communities, economies, and the environment. That feels good!

The hidden gem Mozambique

Mozambique is often overlooked by travellers to Africa, and that’s completely undeserved! This tropical paradise boasts endless white beaches, turquoise seas, and vibrant cities that could make any European city envious. The food is exquisite, especially the fresh seafood, and you can enjoy a safari without bumping into crowds of other tourists.

Mozambique also offers a rich cultural experience. Its heritage is a blend of African, Portuguese, and Arab influences, reflected in traditional crafts like woodcarving, lively dances, and colourful festivals.

Whether you’re into culture, delicious cuisine, or thrilling water sports, Mozambique has something for everyone. Plus, it’s easy to combine with neighbouring countries like South Africa and eSwatini. Discover this hidden gem!

Unique experiences in Mozambique

Coastal live

Tofo

A little paradise on earth where you can forget everything for a while. Stunning beaches, cosy bars and beach clubs, fresh fish at the market, and abundant marine wildlife.

Beach session

Vilanculos

The gateway to one of the most beautiful Bazaruto Islands in the Indian Ocean. From Vilanculos, you can embark on a traditional dhow safari and hop from island to island!

Underwater world

A wet safari

A true bucket list experience: swimming with whale sharks, manta rays, devil rays, sea turtles, and dolphins.

Safari on the beach

Maputo Special Reserve

Maputo, with its Portuguese colonial charm, is not your typical African capital. Perched on a cliff overlooking the bay, it is often called the Rio of Africa!

What a fantastic honeymoon we had with Charlie’s Travels! In just 19 days, we visited three countries: South Africa, Swaziland, and Mozambique. We spent a few nights sleeping under the stars in our personal camper and a few nights in luxury accommodations. Everything was wonderfully organized!

We definitely recommend Charlie’s Travels! They organised a great self-drive for us through South Africa, Mozambique and Eswatini. Communication before, during and after the trip was smooth: everything was very clear and they responded very quickly. We had a fantastic trip!

Together with Charlie’s Travels and my fellow board members, I discovered South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique in 2.5 weeks. Sleeping in tents on the beach or in the wilderness, hiking through Swaziland, Ocean Safari, Game drives, this trip had it all. I recommend everyone to let Charlie’s Travels help you find the perfect trip!

We traveled with our family—2 parents and 4 students—to South Africa and Mozambique. Our transportation was with 2 4WDs with rooftop tents. The route was truly off the beaten track, challenging to drive, and we enjoyed every moment. If you’re looking for an adventurous trip, we definitely recommend Charlie!
