Safari Holidays in Mozambique

The Republic of Mozambique is located on the southeast coast of Africa and covers an area three times the size of Great Britain. Bordered by Tanzania to the north and South Africa to the south, the country has stunning natural attractions including some outstanding beaches and a string of sub-tropical Indian Ocean islands dotted along its 2,500 kilometre coastline.

Culturally Mozambique provides an interesting contrast to other countries in southern and east Africa, with strong European, Arabian and Latin influences. Maputo, the vibrant capital feels more Latin American than African, and in its heyday it was considered to be as beautiful as Cape Town or Rio.

Visas

All visitors require a visa to enter Mozambique. These can be obtained at border entry points or from the Mozambique Embassy or High Commission before you travel. For visitors staying in South Africa beforehand, we can arrange your Mozambique visa for you… ask us for more information.

When To Go

Mozambique has a tropical climate with coastal temperatures high for much of the year. The rainy season is from late November through to early April and is usually hot and humid with temperatures in the mid 30s. The cooler dry season runs from May to October and daytime temperatures fluctuate around the mid 20s. Most days are sunny and rainfall is usually in brief, intense showers.

Getting There

The best way to get to Mozambique is flying via Johannesburg. British Airways, South African Airways and Virgin all have daily flights from London to Johannesburg. From there it is a 2 hour flight to either Maputo or Vilanculos (for the Bazaruto Archipelago). Once in Mozambique, LAM - the national airline - operates regular domestic flights, although these can sometimes be unreliable.

Imagine Africa is the only UK based tour operator recommended on the FUTUR website - official website of the Mozambique Tourist Board.
