About Mozambique

Bathed in the Indian Ocean, Mozambique is a land full of life and hidden beauty. Its untouched nature stretches from the endless pristine beaches of Tungué Bay in the far north to the diving enthusiasts’ paradise at Ponta de Ouro in the south.

In between these points, you’ll discover the islands of Cabo Delgado, the World Heritage site at Mozambique Island with its centuries of history and culture, the treasures of the Bazaruto Archipelago Nature Reserve where migrating whales pass by, and the beach at Xai Xai, where the delicious seafood whets the appetite for more.

In the towns and cities, a great diversity of history and cultures is melded into the architecture, and the pulse of daily life can be felt, from the bustle of the markets to the striking handicrafts, from the museums to the bars and restaurants.

The crystal clear waters are an irresistible invitation to go swimming, snorkelling and diving and take in the extraordinarily beautiful coral reef and the underwater marine life.

So explore a land of enchanting people, a rich culture, sumptuous cuisine and the beauty of a country that awaits you. Come and discover its mysteries.

Mozambique Basic Information

Electricity

Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. The rounded three-pin plug is common, particularly near the border with South Africa and in Maputo. Two pronged, round- and flat-pin plugs are also found.

Language

Portuguese is the official language, though over 40 languages are spoken in the country. English is taught in secondary schools, but is only spoken in the southern tourist regions.

Money

The official currency is the Mozambican Metical (MZN), which is divided into 100 centavos. In the southern parts of the country, South African rands and US dollars are often also accepted to pay for accommodation. It’s prudent to carry some cash is these currencies for times when an ATM is out of order or nonexistent. Credit cards are accepted in most upmarket hotels in Maputo, but card facilities throughout the rest of the country are limited so, again, it’s advisable to carry cash.

Safety

Most visits to Mozambique are trouble free, but tourists should remain vigilant at all times. Violent crime can occur in major cities and tourist areas, and there is some mugging, bag snatching, and pick-pocketing. Visitors are advised to be alert in public places, to keep valuables out of sight, and to avoid walking anywhere at night. All visitors, especially women, should avoid walking alone on the beach, as beaches and offshore islands are not policed.

Visitors are advised that it is extremely risky to wander off well-travelled paths and roads, as a few unexploded landmines still lie scattered about the southern parts of the country. Local information should be sought before going off-road outside provincial capitals.

Travellers should remain vigilant when driving, as traffic accidents are common due to the poor condition of the roads. Many roads can become impassable in the rainy season (November to April), when there is also a risk of cyclones. Overland travel after dark is not recommended, and travellers should be especially alert when driving near the Mozambique-South African border. Police checkpoints are common, where foreigners may be at risk of harassment. There have been many reports of police attempting to solicit bribes, but travellers should insist on a written citation that can be paid at a police station. Travellers should also not travel to some northern districts in Cabo Delgado Province due to terrorism.

Mozambique Travel Specifics

Health

Health regulations in Mozambique require visitors to have a yellow fever certificate if travelling from infected areas. Malaria is a risk throughout the year and prophylactics are recommended, as well as precautions against mosquitos.

Vaccinations are recommended for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and typhoid. Visitors who will be spending a lot of time outdoors and may be at risk of animal bites should consider a rabies vaccination. All eligible travellers should be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines.

Diseases caused by unsanitary conditions are common throughout the country, and untreated water should be considered as unsafe to drink. Cholera and other waterborne diseases are prevalent during the rainy season.

The government has declared tuberculosis (TB) a national emergency and expects it to be a problem for the foreseeable future. Hospital facilities are generally poor in Mozambique, and outside the major cities of Maputo and Beira medical facilities are limited.

Comprehensive medical insurance is essential and visitors should carry personal medical supplies with them. Visitors should make sure that all medication is in its original packaging and accompanied by a signed and dated letter from a doctor, detailing what the medication is and why it is needed.

Duty free

Travellers to Mozambique may enter the country with the following items without incurring customs duty: 200 cigarettes or 250g of tobacco, perfume for personal use, and 750ml of spirits or three standard bottles of wine. Drugs are strictly prohibited and a permit is required for firearms and ammunition.

Entry requirements

US citizens must have a passport that is valid on arrival in Mozambique. A visa is required.

British citizens must have a passport that is valid on arrival in Mozambique. A visa is required.

Canadian citizens must have a passport that is valid on arrival in Mozambique. A visa is required.

Australian citizens must have a passport that is valid on arrival in Mozambique. A visa is required.

South African citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least 30 days after their arrival in Mozambique. No visa is required.

Irish citizens must have a passport that is valid on arrival in Mozambique. A visa is required.

New Zealand citizens must have a passport that is valid on arrival in Mozambique. A visa is required.

Passport & Visa

All foreign passengers to Mozambique must hold return or onward tickets, the necessary travel documentation for their next destination, and proof of sufficient funds to cover their expenses while in the country. Until recently visitors of most nationalities could obtain a 30-day tourist visa on arrival in Mozambique, but visas can now no longer be purchased at points of entry and must be organised beforehand. Those visiting Mozambique from a country where there is no Mozambican diplomatic mission should be able to get a visa on arrival but this should be confirmed in advance. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required to enter Mozambique if visitors are arriving from or have transited through an infected area. It is highly recommended that travellers’ passports have at least six months’ validity remaining after the intended date of departure from their travel destination. Immigration officials often apply different rules to those stated by travel agents and official sources.

Climate in Mozambique

The climate of Mozambique is typically tropical between October and March, with a wet season during the long summer, and a dry season in the winter, from April to September. There is little variation of temperatures between the seasons.

Differences in climate are dependent mainly on altitude. The wet season brings the heaviest rain along the coast, and cyclones occur during this period. Mozambique’s climate varies in different regions of the country. But generally, the inland areas are slightly cooler and more humid than the coastal areas during the rainy season.

Rainfall is usually heaviest between December and March. The southern parts of the country are drier and less tropical than the north, with temperatures along the coast averaging 80F (27C) during winter. The rainy season can get swelteringly hot and humid with average coastal temperatures of 88F (31C).

The best time to visit Mozambique is in the cooler, dry winter season between April and September, when it’s sunny and the water is still pleasantly warm. The country is also a popular New Year’s destination, particularly for South Africans, but those travelling in December and January should be prepared for rain.

Mozambique Customs & More

Tipping

Tipping has become standard practice in Mozambique, particularly in tourist areas where a tip of about 10 percent is expected in restaurants.

Local customs

Identity documents should be carried at all times; drug offences are taken very seriously, and can receive long jail terms and heavy fines. Visitors should ask permission before photographing anyone, particularly in remote parts of the country.

Doing business

Conducting business in Mozambique can be difficult, as many people only speak Portuguese or their own ethnic language. Translators are usually found in Maputo, but remain hard to come by. Punctuality is important and dress is usually conservative, with lightweight materials recommended.

Business associates should be addressed by their professional titles unless otherwise stated, and meetings generally start and end with a handshake. Men and women may shake hands, but any additional physical contact can be interpreted as romantic interest.

Communications

The international dialling code for Mozambique is +258. The outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0027 for South Africa). Internet access is easy and fast in Maputo and other major centres; upmarket hotels offer WiFi. Mobile coverage is expanding to all main cities in most provinces.

Mozambique Airport

Maputo International Airport (MPM)

Location

The airport is situated four miles (6km) northwest of the city centre of Maputo.

 

Getting to the city

Buses service the airport during the day, but the schedule is a bit erratic. Some hotels will organise airport transfer and taxis are available.

Time

Local time is GMT +2.

 

Car rental

Several car rental companies are represented at the airport, including Avis and Hertz.

Airport Taxis

Taxis are usually available at the airport, metered and unmetered, and some hotels will arrange airport shuttles for guests if contacted in advance.

Facilities

Facilities are not extensive, but food and drinks are available and there is a VIP Lounge.

Parking

Car parking is available at the airport.

Mozambique & Maputo Attractions

Central Market
The Central Market spills out of a beautiful yet charmingly shabby old building. It’s a hub of activity offering all kinds of goods, from fruit and vegetables, a variety of seafood, and household items, to handicrafts, basketware, and carvings. This is a market designed to serve local needs and not tourists, making it an authentic experience and a good opportunity to see how the people in Maputo shop and what they eat. Although it’s primarily a food market, one can find many interesting souvenirs and trinkets. Vendors are ready to haggle, and travellers can often negotiate themselves big discounts, though knowing a little Portuguese will help.

Ponta d’Ouro
Located along a sandy road just south of Maputo, Ponta d’Ouro is home to some of the most perfect waves in Africa. Offering spectacular dive sites and a wealth of sea creatures, it is a popular destination with surfers, divers, and underwater enthusiasts. Swimming with dolphins is a must and can be a deeply rewarding and life-changing experience. Travellers can stroll along white beaches stretching far into the distance or explore the rock pools full of colourful shells and corals. Local specialities and trinkets include the locally produced Tipo Tinto Rum, tasting slightly of vanilla and perfect with pineapple or raspberry juice, as well as hardwood carvings in all shapes and sizes.

Inhaca Island
Situated almost 25 miles (40km) off the coast of Maputo, Inhaca Island is an immensely popular African resort destination. It boasts beautiful beaches, some of the Mozambique Channel’s best coral reefs, a historic lighthouse, a marine biology museum, and large areas of protected forest. Easily accessible from the capital, it’s a favourite among snorkelers and divers who usually head for the reefs at Santa Maria, the lighthouse, or the surrounding sunken wrecks.

Mozambique, Diamons Mequfi Beach Resort – January 2018

Hi Bronwyn

We always knew when we booked our honeymoon at Diamonds Mequfi Beach Resort, that we would be experiencing a snippet of paradise. But we can honestly say, to call the Mequfi Resort, “paradise”, just doesn’t do it justice.

The booking with Webtours, specifically Bronwyn, was effortless and made flights, transfers and accommodation absolutely seamless. Thank you Webtours! You made us feel incredibly special and made our honeymoon that much more enjoyable. We were able to enjoy being a newlywed, smitten couple, with few responsibilities and worries knowing that Webtours had it all under control.

Words cannot adequately the luxury and beauty of the Mequfi Beach Resort. The best advice we could give anybody is to go and see it for themselves. You would definitely understand why we are so in love with this resort now! From the moment you land, you are greeted by Diamonds staff with refresher towels, comfortable transfer and ice cold water. Driving into the resort was breathtaking – literally something out of a movie!

Jose is a wonderful manager, with fantastic attention to detail, and we must thank the wonderful staff and chef who organised private candlelit dinners for us (at no additional cost) and for breakfasts in bed overlooking the ocean.

Our week at Diamonds Mequfi Beach Resort is one for the books. It was so difficult to leave!

Thank you to Bronwyn from Webtours and the team at Diamonds Mequfi. We, undoubtedly, had the best honeymoon ever.

Kind regards

David and Nicole

The food was amazing. Delicious, home cooked food for every meal. The cocktails were also delicious!

The staff at Ossimba were all very friendly and helpful.

A couple of activities we did:
– Kevin took us out on his boat a couple of times
– We went a looked at other places down the coast, saw the mangrove forests, swam in a nice swimming area and had sundowners.

Thank you Webtours for making our honeymoon everything we could ever have wished for, and for finding Ossimba for us – it truly is paradise! 20171030 170536
