Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo

Ilha de Moçambique is one of Africa's most extraordinary UNESCO heritage sites — a tiny coral island of 500-year-old Portuguese, Arab, and Indian architecture that solo travelers can walk end-to-end in an hour. Very limited tourist infrastructure but genuinely atmospheric accommodation in restored colonial houses. The Stone Town (original) and Macuti Town (local community) are two completely different worlds on one small island.
