Maputo is one of Africa's most charming capitals — Portuguese colonial architecture, Art Deco buildings, and bougainvillea-draped gardens give the city its own atmosphere. The famous Maputo prawns in piri-piri sauce are Southern Africa's finest seafood, and Tofo beach's coral and whale sharks are legendary.
