Mozambique is divided into two major topographical regions:To the north of the Zambezi river that runs almost through central Mozambique, a narrow coastline and bordering plateau slope upward into hills and a series of rugged highlands like Angonia Highlands and Lichinga Highlands (as shown on map) punctuated by scattered mountains. South of the Zambezi River, the lowlands are much wider with scattered hills and mountains along its borders with South Africa, Swaziland and Zambia. Monte Binga (marked on map), peaking at 2,435 m, is the highest point of Mozambique; the Indian Ocean (0 m) is the lowest. The country is drained by several significant rivers, with the Zambezi being the largest and most important.The Zambezi is in fact the fourth-longest river in Africa, and the largest flowing into the Indian Ocean from Africa. Other important rivers flowing in Mozambique include Limpopo, Licungo, Lurio, Rovuma, and others. Lake Malawi (Nyasa) is the country's major lake. As seen on the map, it is located on Mozambique's border with Malawi. The Cahora Bassa is Africa's fourth-largest artificial lake. A small slice of Malawi's Lake Chiuta sits in Mozambique.

Biggest Cities in Mozambique Maputo Maputo is the largest city, as well as the capital of the country, with a population of 1,766,184. It was formally known as Lourenco Marques before independence, being named after a Portuguese navigator who was sent by the governor of Mozambique for voyage exploration. The city is relatively dry with an average precipitation of 32 inches annually. It is a coastal city and is prone to climate impacts such as cyclones.

Maputo, Mozambique's Capital

Maputo, Mozambique's Capital Mozambique flights can take you straight to the capital of Mozambique, that is to say the coastal city of Maputo. The city has a large harbour and is home to about 2 million people. Maputo (then called Lourenzo Marques) was established as the centre of trade and industry as far back as 1898, with the harbour serving as an important port for South African gold, which was transported to the city first by ox drawn wagons and later by rail. Before the war torn 1970’s and 80’s, Lourenzo Marques was a highly fashionable city with an impressive skyline and popular nightclubs which operated until the early hours of the morning. The city was a cosmopolitan mix of African and Portuguese cultures; tragically the war tore the city apart. Immigrants crowded the torn up buildings, the streets lay under a layer of litter and water and electricity were luxury services unavailable to the city’s inhabitants. Today the city is gradually moving toward the goal of achieving its former glory; with the famous Sites and Sounds Arguably Maputo’s most noteworthy landmark is the Fort of Nossa Senhora da Conceiao (Our Lady of Conception), which stood at the centre of the initial settlement which grew into a city. The Central Railway Station is another important building, which may be mistaken for a palace of some kind… Then when the sun gets low you can get a bite to eat at one of the many excellent restaurants before heading to the Fere de Populare, if you fancy a taste ...
