Philip Briggs is an Africa expert and the author of 14 Bradt guides, including Malawi and South Africa Highlights.

Mozambique is very much a country of two halves. The tourism-savvy south offers palm-lined tropical beaches, luxury lodges and diving to rank with the best in the world, plus the capital Maputo, a city oozing with Afro-Mediterranean flair. The undeveloped northern mainland, by contrast, is one of Africa’s last frontiers, with thrillingly vast game reserves and stunning coastal panoramas that draw intrepid travellers and those hankering after barefoot luxury.

Now in its sixth edition, Bradt’s Mozambique is the most established guide on the market, with in-depth coverage of transport, wildlife, history and culture, plus invaluable practical advice. This honest handbook will help you plan the perfect beach break or an intrepid exploration of the north.
