Mozambique has many beutiful beaches. They are very popular with South Africans in the school holidays so we've always avoided those times and have not needed to booking anywhere in advance. As we have not been to Mozambique since 2012 some of the camps may not exist or have changed a lot.
The map shows the campsites that we've used in Mozambique over the past few years. Below the map is information about them, listed in alphabetical order. You can click on the places on the map or scroll down the page. Because of the campsite links the image will not change size on different devices.
