Mozambique is a country in southeastern Africa characterized by coastal plains along the Indian Ocean, river systems, savannas, and highlands in its interior regions.

📍 Mozambique is a country located in Southeastern Africa, stretching along the Indian Ocean coast. It is bordered by Tanzania to the north, Malawi and Zambia to the northwest, Zimbabwe to the west, and Eswatini and South Africa to the south and southwest, with a long coastline along the Indian Ocean to the east.
Mozambique’s landscape includes coastal plains, river valleys, and plateaus, with several major rivers such as the Zambezi flowing through the country. The coastline features beaches, coral reefs, and islands. Its tropical climate supports diverse ecosystems and agriculture.
Mozambique’s location along the Indian Ocean has historically made it an important center for trade, linking Africa with the Middle East and Asia through maritime routes.
