Mozambique Map

Covering 800,000 sq km Mozambique is vast in comparison to most African countries. The coastline stretches for about 2 500 km and bordered in the east by a wide coastal plain, rising gradually to mountains and plateaus on the borders of Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi. Mt Binga is the highest peak in Mozambique, reaching 2436 m, in the Chimanimani Mountains on the Zimbabwe border. The Zambezi and the Limpopo, Southern Africa's largest rivers, cut their way through the country to the sea. Other rivers include the Save and the Rovuma, which forms the border with Tanzania in the north.
