People of Mozambique

Mozambique has to be one of the last un-explored frontiers and is also home to an incredible diversity of ecosystems, habits and species. It has a wide assortment of cultures and its people must be amongst the friendliest in the world.

This is despite the decades of war that savaged the country and kept it impoverished. Thankfully, over a decade of peace has changed this with much needed improvement and development taking place to the benefit of its peoples.
