By the sea in Southern Mozambique

Entry requirements

To enter Mozambique, you need a passport with at least 2 blank pages and 6 months’ validity remaining, as well as, based on your nationality, an entry visa. For application procedures, please check the up-to-date information on the Mozambique Immigration website.

Food and Drink

Local Cuisine

Mozambique offers some of the best food in Africa, blending Portuguese, Indian and African influences. The country is known for its excellent prawns, lobster and grilled catch of the day.

Hygiene and Safety

The accommodations and restaurants we choose maintain excellent hygiene standards. For extra peace of mind, we recommend you to:

• drink water and beverages from sealed containers or provided by your lodge,
• brush your teeth with sealed bottled water or water provided by your lodge,
• avoid ice in your drinks,
• avoid vegetables and seafood unless they are cooked.

Currency and Payments

Local currency: Mozambican metical

At the accommodations you’ll stay in, Visa, Mastercard and other major credit cards are commonly accepted. In markets and villages, however, electronic payments are often limited and ATMs may be scarce. For more details, please consult our travel preparation guide.

Health information

Vaccination requirements vary according to nationality and country of origin. For up-to-date health information and malaria prevention advice, we recommend consulting official travel health resources before departure.

Luggage

Pack as light as possible, and keep your luggage to 16-18 kg maximum. Choose a soft bag rather than a hard or semi-rigid suitcase.

Clothing

You will need comfortable, breathable clothing, lightweight for the day and easy to layer in the evening. Don’t forget your swimsuit.

Equipment

Be sure to pack sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, a water bottle and binoculars. Remember the documents you need to enter Mozambique, plus a photocopy of your passport.

Medicines

There are no pharmacies along the route except in larger towns, so it’s best to bring a small supply of medicines. In the travel preparation guide  you find a detailed list of the clothing, accessories, equipment and medicines we suggest you bring.
