Besides all these, Mozambique Sports provide a lot of opportunities for a handful of other exciting sports including scuba diving and deep-sea fishing.
Among Mozambican basketball players of repute, the names that deserve mention are those of Carlos Matos Lopes and Clarisse Machanguana. For its geographic location, most of the residents of Mozambique are found indulging themselves in fishing for marlin, sailfish, barracuda and swordfish.
The most remarkable resorts here are the Bazaruto Archipelago and Mozambique Island and Inhaca Island near Maputo. Some of these resorts provide opportunities for divers or snorkelers to explore the excellent underwater sights. There is also a good hiking facility on the Zavoras coral reef but one should be extremely cautious before undertaking these adventurous activities, due to the presence of numerous leftover land mines in the country. Bird watching is also considered as a wonderful way of spending leisure time in Mozambique.
