Topographic Map of Mozambique, the Mozambique Channel and the southern portion of the Rift Valley.
The country occupies an
area of 801,590 km², compared it is somewhat larger than three times the size of the
United Kingdom or slightly less than twice the size of the
U.S. state of
California.
The Zambezi river, the largest African river that flows into the Indian Ocean, cuts through the country from west to east and divides it into two topographical regions. South of the Zambezi, the southern part of the country, is a broad coastal lowland covered with tropical savanna; the Limpopo, the Changane and the Save rivers drain the southern part of Mozambique.
North of the Zambezi delta, the coastal plains narrow and the landscape rises gradually up to the inland hills and the Nyassa plateau of the Rift Valley in the northwest. It is the location of
Mount Namuli, at 2,419 m the second highest mountain in the country.
The highest point of Mozambique is the peak of
Monte Binga (Mount Binga) at 2,436 m, located on the border between Zimbabwe and Mozambique west of the city of Beira.
