Geography and Environment of Mozambique

  • Seaside palm trees and lounges of Wimbe Beach, Mozambique

Located in Southern Africa, Mozambique shares land borders with Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Swaziland. The eastern side of the country runs along the Indian Ocean, giving Mozambique plenty of coast line crucial for recreation, trade, tourism and the fishing industry. Inland, mountainous terrain extends along the western and northern borders with the Limpopo and the Zambezi Rivers running through the country into the sea.
