Mozambique Tours & Holiday Packages
Mozambique holiday packages take you beyond the beach-resort cliché, into Portuguese-colonial cities, coastal wildlife reserves and one of Africa’s most rewarding overland journeys. This is Mozambique found on the road.
Mozambique runs for more than 1,500 miles along Africa’s south-east coast, a long ribbon of Indian Ocean shoreline wedged between South Africa and the open sea. Five centuries of Portuguese contact have left their mark on the mainland: cathedrals and praças sit at the heart of Maputo, pastel de nata surfaces in corner bakeries, and the country’s rhythms, marrabenta especially, carry a distinct lusophone swing you won’t find elsewhere in the region. Inland from the shoreline you’re into wetlands, mangroves and the coastal bush of the Maputo Special Reserve, where elephants have been quietly returning to a shore they once shared with humpback whales and dhow fishermen.
Most tours to Mozambique on our calendar reach the country overland from the south, which is how our Southern African circuit is built. The Kosi Bay border crossing lets Mozambique unfold slowly and on its own terms, rather than arriving fly-in to an all-inclusive resort.
Explore our Mozambique Tours
Mozambique holidays with Undiscovered Destinations aren’t fly-and-flop. You travel with our guided small group tours, capped at 12 with a single English-speaking leader from Johannesburg to Johannesburg, on a route that crosses four countries and makes Mozambique the coastal chapter of a broader Southern African story. Expect full-day safari drives, an overland border crossing at Kosi Bay, Portuguese-colonial walking tours in Baixa de Maputo, and community-led cultural visits in Mafalala run by a local NGO that works with women and youth.

Some inspiration from our blog
The Southern Africa Explorer Mountains to Coast crosses four countries in 15 days: South Africa (the Drakensberg, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi and Kruger), Lesotho (a full day over the Sani Pass and a Basotho village visit), Mozambique (Maputo and the Maputo Special Reserve) and Eswatini (the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary). Mozambique sits roughly at the midpoint and is reached overland from Kosi Bay on the KwaZulu-Natal coast.
Absolutely. All our group departures welcome solo travellers. Solo travellers are a regular part of this group, and the cap of 12 makes it easy to settle in.
