FAQs/Essential Information
Everything you need to know before you go.
Why is Mozambique considered a premier beach destination?
expand_more
Mozambique offers over 2,500 kilometers of coastline featuring pristine white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and the stunning Bazaruto and Quirimbas Archipelagos. It is one of the few places left where you can experience true solitude, untouched coral reefs, and luxury eco-lodges that blend seamlessly into the natural environment.
When is the best time to visit Mozambique?
expand_more
The best time for a coastal holiday is during the dry season, from May to November. The weather is warm and pleasant with low humidity, making it perfect for snorkeling, diving, and boat excursions. If you are a whale-watching enthusiast, visit between July and September to spot humpback whales.
Do I need a visa to enter Mozambique?
expand_more
Visa requirements vary based on your nationality. Many travelers can now obtain a visa online via an e-visa system or at major points of entry. We recommend verifying current requirements for your specific passport at least 30 days before your departure.
Is Mozambique safe for international travelers?
expand_more
Mozambique is a welcoming destination, particularly in the popular beach and island resorts, which are well-managed and safe. As in any coastal destination, exercise normal travel precautions, and we always advise using our vetted private transfers for your logistics between the airport and your lodge.
What is the currency in Mozambique, and can I use cards?
expand_more
The local currency is the Metical (MZN). While major lodges and upscale restaurants in towns accept credit cards, cash is essential for smaller transactions, markets, and remote island excursions. We recommend carrying some US Dollars or South African Rand, which are often accepted at resorts.
Is malaria a concern in Mozambique?
expand_more
Yes, malaria is present in most parts of Mozambique. We strongly advise all clients to consult a travel clinic before their trip to discuss anti-malarial medication and to use effective insect repellent, especially during the evenings.
Is Mozambique a luxury or budget destination?
expand_more
It is both. We specialize in the luxury island experience private villas in the Bazaruto Archipelago but we can also curate authentic, mid-range "barefoot luxury" experiences for travelers who want to enjoy the incredible marine life without the ultra-luxury price tag.
What can I do besides relaxing on the beach?
expand_more
Mozambique is a world-class marine destination. You can go scuba diving or snorkeling with whale sharks and manta rays, try your hand at deep-sea fishing, go kayaking through mangrove forests, or take a sunset dhow cruise to experience local maritime culture.
Is tipping expected?
expand_more
Tipping is not strictly mandatory, but it is highly appreciated as a gesture of gratitude for good service. In restaurants, 10% is standard. For lodge staff and private guides who curate your island experience, a small tip is a wonderful way to acknowledge their expertise.
