How long are tourist visas valid for?
The tourist visa is valid for 30 days. Border visas allow dual entry within a 30-day period. For instance, visitors who have travelled to Eswatini and South Africa have found that the visa was valid for two entries if still within its 30-day validity.
What documents do I need to travel to Mozambique?
All visitors are required to hold a valid passport for entry into Mozambique, and visitors from some countries require a visa (see above).
Your current passport must be valid for 6 months minimum, from your date of entry into Mozambique. Your current passport must also contain a minimum of 3 blank pages (or more). These blank pages are to allow space for the visa as well as the stamps to the passport pages to allow you to travel cross border, in and out of Mozambique.
Malaria
We are in a low-risk area, however, we recommend you speak to your GP to organise a malaria prescription before you leave, and bring enough of the medication with you for the length of your trip. Note: local clinics have testing facilities and medication, should you contract malaria.
How safe is Mozambique for tourists?
The South of Mozambique, is close enough to civilization, but remote enough to enjoy true tranquillity and peace. Machangulo Peninsula is very safe and has a small local community with a very low crime rate. Like most places, we do encourage guests not to leave valuables lying around.
Health care facilities
There are very basic clinics in the area. Severe cases would likely seek medical attention in Maputo. There is an airstrip for a helicopter to land, should there be such an emergency.
What is the best time of the year to visit Mozambique?
With its tropical climate, Mozambique is the perfect all-year destination. April to December is our dry season, with tropical weather, clear skies, lots of sun, and rarely any rain. The rainy season is from January to the end of March, though these months are best for observing turtle hatching. June to October are ideal months for whale watching with the migrating humpback and southern right whales passing by, yet it is still mild in temperature. October overlaps with turtle nesting season, which spans through to December.
