Mozambique luxury safaris

Where the wild meets the water, Mozambique offers a seamless blend of safari and sea. Its coastline runs for more than 1,500 miles, with long beaches, turquoise shallows and islands scattered like pearls in the Indian Ocean. Life here follows the rhythm of the tides.

Wake to the sound of waves and the scent of sea air. Snorkel among coral gardens alive with reef fish, watch dolphins surf the bow of your boat or dive with whale sharks off Tofo. Inland, discover quiet reserves and mangrove forests rich with birdlife. Evenings bring candlelit dinners on the sand and dhow sails glowing amber against the sunset.

Diamond Skies Safaris designs Mozambique escapes that capture its easy grace. Stay at remote beach lodges or combine ocean calm with time in nearby wildlife parks. This is barefoot luxury, shaped by the sea.

Mozambique practical tips

Access & Travel 

  • Most journeys begin in Maputo, with light aircraft or helicopter transfers connecting to private island lodges or safari camps. Coastal hubs like Vilanculos and Pemba serve as gateways to the Bazaruto and Quirimbas Archipelagos.

Accommodation & Guiding

  • All Diamond Skies Safaris experiences in Mozambique are privately guided and fully managed. From park to beach, logistics are seamless — your guide and host take care of every detail. The coast is home to a handful of exceptional beach lodges and island retreats — think polished barefoot luxury, oceanfront villas, and discreet, intuitive service. Inland, boutique safari camps provide exclusivity and authentic charm.

Sustainability 

  • Mozambique is re-emerging as one of Africa’s most hopeful conservation stories, with visitors directly supporting the protection of its coastlines and wildlife.

Combining Destinations

  • Ideal countries to pair with a Mozambique safari are South Africa and Botswana, offering easy connections and contrasting experiences. South Africa—particularly the Kruger region—combines seamlessly thanks to direct links to Mozambique’s coast, while Botswana adds the rich wildlife of the Okavango Delta and Kalahari before unwinding on Mozambique’s beaches.
