Community Tourism
Village-run guiding, craft workshops and lodges that return income directly to local families.
Some of the most memorable travel in Mozambique happens through community-run initiatives: guided walks on Mount Gorongosa, silversmith workshops on Ibo, fishing-village visits along the Quirimbas coast, and craft cooperatives across the country. Choosing these operators keeps tourism income in the places it comes from. Ask directly how a lodge or guide works with the community — good operators are happy to explain.
