And yet the main and undeniably most worthwhile attractions of Mozambique are its natural beauty .National parks here amaze the imagination .First of all these are two archipelagoes: Kirimbas and Bazaruto .Each archipelago (and each islet) is unique in its own way, the islands of Kirimbas are north, and they are more green, and Bazaruto can boast mostly sand dunes and beaches .But both there and there you can find the best comfort in one of the first-class hotels, and devote rest to the observation of marine life .

The small tourist Tofo is located in the south-eastern part of Mozambique, at Cape Ponto do Bara, and it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Tofo is an ideal place for divers who want to watch whale sharks and manta rays. For the mask and fins is not too good: deep; but Tofo beach is long and beautiful.

It is primarily a large park of Gorongos with several unique natural areas, a habitat for hundreds of species of birds and large animals. Or the largest in the camp of the Niassa Reserve, famous for its miombo forest.
