Introducing Ilha de Moçambique
Tiny reed houses and pastel-coloured colonial mansions rub shoulders among the palm trees on tiny Ilha de Moçambique (Mozambique Island), the former capital of Portuguese East Africa. It’s haunting, magical, and a must-see.

The ‘Ilha’ is attached to the mainland by a 3.5km causeway. Chapas and buses arrive at the southern tip of the island, from where it’s a short walk north through the makuti (reed) town to the old colonial stone town. The tourist office (26-610081; 9am-noon & 2-5pm) has island information and guides; it is next to the museum.
