Overview

The best of Mozambique is usually between the towns, and this 9-night self-drive is built to find it. You get the car, a mapped scenic route through Maputo · Vilanculos · Bazaruto, and every night booked ahead — so Bazaruto archipelago dhow safari and Tofo beach & whale sharks happen on your schedule, with the detours left deliberately open.

May – Nov is the sweet spot for Mozambique (Africa), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 3★ / 4★ en route hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹2,30,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Mozambique visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

Explera planned our Maputo holiday end to end — flights, 3★ / 4★ en route, sightseeing and visa where needed, all on one bill. Every day ran exactly to plan. Best travel agent in Surat, honestly.

★★★★★
Our family holiday to Maputo was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 10-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
