Do I need a visa for Mozambique?

Citizens of many SADC countries are visa-exempt. Others can obtain a visa on arrival for up to 30 days, or apply for an e-visa in advance. Valid passports, onward tickets, and proof of accommodation are required.

Is Mozambique safe for tourists?

While many coastal tourist areas like Maputo, Inhambane, Vilanculos, and Ponta Mamoli are considered relatively stable, there are serious security advisories for parts of the north—especially Cabo Delgado, Nampula (certain districts), and Niassa regions—where instability is ongoing.

When’s the best time to visit Mozambique?

The best time to visit Mozambique is during the dry season from May to October, when the weather is sunny, humidity is low, and the seas are calm—perfect for beach escapes, diving, and island-hopping in the Bazaruto or Quirimbas archipelagos. Wildlife viewing in parks like Gorongosa and Niassa is also at its best, as animals gather around water sources. From November to April, the wet season brings higher temperatures and afternoon rains, which make some roads harder to access but also transform the landscapes into lush, green scenery with excellent birdwatching.

Because of the easy way we communicated with our Viatu expert, it felt like planning our holidays with a friend. It made it really flexible and perfectly suitable for our needs. The accommodations that he suggested were just wonderful and a perfect mix of everything we needed.
