Meeting people from all walks of life from all over the world is probably the most important part of travel. Learning about different customs and cultures and having memorable experiences with the local people is what it's all about! The people of Mozambique are warm, welcoming and kind. Travelers are typically met with questions about life in the west - topics such as religion, jobs and family tend to be the most popular. Mozambicans love to dance, sing and laugh. Their clothes are colourful, and so are their personalities.
Here are some photos of the fantastic people we encountered during our travels through this African nation.

Mozambicans are very photogenic and for the most part, they like to have their picture taken. It's always polite to ask though and make sure that the person is comfortable with having a camera in their face. Travel to Mozambique and see for yourself - the friendly, beautiful people are a photographer's dream!
