Mozambique

Where the Portuguese influence is strong, but the Wi-Fi is weaker.

Mozambique: Where the beachside bars serve up fresh seafood, but the sunburns serve up fresh regret.

Mozambique: Where the vibrant markets sell everything from colorful textiles to questionable knock-off designer handbags.

Mozambique is the only country whose flag features a modern weapon (an AK-47).

The country has one of the world's best coral reefs, particularly around the Bazaruto Archipelago.
