 Mozambique
is a nation that is located in the south eastern Africa.
It has Tanzania on its north, Indian Ocean on its east,
Zimbabwe on its west, Zambia and Malawi on its northwest
and South Africa and Swaziland on its southwest.
Mozambique is about double the size of California. It is
the 35th largest country on earth and its size can be
compared to the size of Turkey. There are two seasons in
Mozambique, the dry season (April to September) and the
wet season (October to March). New Metical is the
official currency of the country.
The language that is widely spoken in the country is
Portuguese and it is also the official language of
Mozambique. Many of the educated population are also
fluent in English as this language is their second or
third language. It has fabulous beaches and
unforgettable safaris. These are probably the reasons
why Mozambique is now coming up as a tourist
destination. More and more people are now being drawn to
this country and as a result, the tourism industry is
growing. Most of the people living in the country are
Roman Catholics, Muslims, Protestants and other
religious groups. About 1/4th of the population in the
country are Roman Catholics.
The people from Mozambique are called Mozambicans.
