When to go: Mozambique

Mozambique has a lovely subtropical climate, with a dry season lasting from April to December, and a rainy season from January to March. The beaches on both the Bazaruto and Quirimbas archipelagos are lovely throughout the dry season, although the winter (June - August) months can be breezy; especially in the north. The optimal time to visit is September to November, when the weather is calm and warm and the whale migration can also be seen.

British Airways offer direct flights from London to Johannesburg (duration 11.5 hours), located in the East of South Africa. On arrival in Johannesburg, there are 5 connecting flights daily to the capital Maputo (duration 1 hour) on either South African Airlink or Mozambique Airlines which fly direct to Maputo in southern Mozambique. Alternatively, there is a daily direct flight from Johannesbury on South African Airways to Vilanculos (duration 1 hour 40 minutes).

Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
