What time of year is best for travel?
The dry season, which usually runs from May to November, is the best time to travel to Mozambique. During these months, temperatures range from 24 to 27 °C, creating a perfect environment for exploring beaches and engaging in outdoor activities. If you are interested in festivals, during this time the Mozambique Drum Festival is celebrated, a cultural event you won't want to miss.
As for prices, the high season covers June to August and December to January, so if you prefer something more affordable but equally enjoyable, the months close to the high season are ideal. During these periods, it is easier to find hotel availability and avoid large crowds of tourists.
How far in advance should you make your reservations?
To get the best rates and availability on flights and hotels in Mozambique, it is recommended that you start planning your trip at least 6 months in advance. As the high seasons approach, prices tend to increase and options become limited. This destination is very popular for those who enjoy diving and underwater life, so if you're interested, it would be a good idea to book early.
As for tips on finding good deals, keeping an eye on airfares during the low season is common as airlines often offer discounts during periods of less tourism. And don't forget about hotels; opting for all-inclusive hotel packages can result in significant savings.
What should you see during your trip?
Mozambique is a treasure to be discovered on the east coast of Africa, and not just for its dreamy beaches. Of course, if you enjoy diving, destinations like Tofo Beach and the Bazaruto Island are essential for exploring the Indian Ocean. But this country has much more to offer besides sand and sea.
Are you interested in culture and history? You shouldn't miss the Mozambique Island, with its architectural heritage and colonial forts. In Maputo, the capital, you will discover a mix of architectural styles and lively markets where you can taste the local cuisine.
For nature lovers, Gorongosa National Park offers an authentic safari experience. You will see elephants, lions, and a variety of endemic birds. And don't miss the Chimanimani Mountains, ideal for hiking and enjoying breathtaking views.
If you are looking for something more unique, the Quirimbas Archipelago in the north offers a quieter and less touristy experience. Here you can indulge in fishing and explore mangroves.
