Mozambique Casinos

There currently are two casinos in Mozambique The Polana Casino based in the capital city of Maputo and the Sol Libombos Casino & Hotel in Namaachal.

Situated on the east coast of Southern Africa, Mozambique has a coastline that stretches for nearly 3000 km. The country covers an area of approximately 800,000 sq. km, and its inland waters include a portion of Lake Malawi. Long, winding rivers flow across its territory, including the Zambezi, which has its source in Angola, enters Mozambique at the country’s westernmost border in the Tete province, and flows almost 800 km before reaching the sea at Chinde.

The capitol, Maputo, is situated in the south of the country, with a population now exceeding 15 million people. Portuguese is the official language and English is also fairly widely spoken.

The climate of the country varies from tropical to subtropical, with the coastal regions generally hotter and more humid than the inland plateau and mountainous areas. Unfortunately, much of the interior is still not ready for tourists having been ravaged by war and requiring considerable funding to rebuild and restock facilities.

Still, the coastal resorts offer a variety of quality accommodation and activities such as swimming, snorkeling, fishing, scuba diving, yachting, boardsailing and skiing. The islands off the coastline are also popular holiday resorts, particularly well known for their deep-sea fishing and scuba diving. They include Inhaca, Magaruque, Benguela and Bazaruto. Access to the islands is relatively easy by air.

Road systems are also good. There is a road linking the town of Vilancoulos, on the coast, to Mutare in Zimbabwe and Nelspruit in South Africa. The road from South Africa passes through the capital city of Maputo, which offers a range of hotel accommodation. Alternatively there are twice weekly flights from Johannesburg via Nelspruit to the international airport at Vilancoulos. The various lodges on the islands collect guests from the airport and provide boat transfer to the lodges.
