The third edition of this Bradt guide to Mozambique brings travellers up to date with the rapid changes that are sweeping Mozambique. It describes the whole country from the exceptional beauty of the south coast to the oldest European settlement in Africa, and highlights the capital Maputo (easily accessible from South Africa) and southern Mozambique, with its palm-lined beaches, offshore islands and world-ranking water sports locations. It includes tips for backpackers on exploring off-the-beaten-track Africa and the challenges of getting to and around northern Mozambique.
