The country is located on Eastern Africa, on the continent's largest coastal plain (half the territory is below 230 m above sea level). The mountain range known as Inyanga is located to the west, where its peak reaches 2500 m. The major elevations are near the borders with Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi.

The coasts are very irregular, and covered by vast swamps in the middle section of the country around cities like Beira and Quelimane. Many beaches in Mozambique are excellent for tourism, with soft sand and clear blue water, and cheap, fresh seafood provided by the fishing industry.

The country is divided by the Zambezi River.
