Product Description
Review
'Best guidebook.' The Sunday Telegraph 'The guide reads well and contains all that an enterprising traveller or backpacker might need in the way of information about this little-known country.' Library Review 'The Guide to Mozambique is both readable and informative. The information is bang up-to-date – and so is the style. A book for discoverers – grab it!' SA Tourism
Product Description
'The south coast of Mozambique is exceptionally beautiful – truly the archetype of palm-lined tropical beach nirvana – as well as boasting snorkelling, diving and game fishing to rank with the very best in the world' enthuses author Philip Briggs. The fifth edition of Mozambique leads intrepid travellers from the undiscovered northeastern provinces to the coral island of Ilha do Moçambique, with its imposing fortress. Relax on a dhow, experience a sailing safari, admire Portuguese colonial Beira or follow suggested walks around the capital Maputo. With in-depth coverage of wildlife, culture and history, and practical advice on accommodation for all budgets, the Bradt guide leads the way.

I've read all guides to Mozambique and been there. Now I am planning my second trip.
This book is the the most in depth and meticulous. The detail of the thoroughly researched book is quite astonishing.
There is no ambiguity - if you can get/sleep/eat there this book will tell you how whether be public transport or your own. It doesn't leave any questions. For any trip especially out of Maputo and off the beaten track this book will prove absolutely invaluable. The authors factual and succinct style gives frank impressions and doesn't rely on second hand information.
The maps are very handy and this book is by far the most up to date - places are opening up in Mozambique and they are in this book and not in others.

I was unlucky enough to have to visit Mozambique with the previous edition of this book, which was (very poorly) updated by a different author and had numerous shortcomings.
Better late than never though, and I was surprised to see that in this new edition the original author Philip Briggs has once again produced a guide in line with the quality of his other titles on Africa.
Practical information is now much more thorough, and there is far more detail on wildlife and national parks. He has also successfully resisted Bradt's switch from giving only vague categories, if at all, to indicate rates of accommodation, and this book, like all others by this author, still gives you actual prices like LP.
I still feel the book is still a bit overly enthusiastic about what I personally found one of the least rewarding countries in the region though - I even found Mozambique's beaches far less impressive than guidebooks might lead you to believe.
The country's most unique feature in my eyes is its Portuguese colonial heritage, and that is well-introduced here.
I wish I had already had this edition with me on my trip!
