Whether staying in a beachside hut or a bustling city apartment, travelers find a mix of budget-friendly stays and unique cultural exchanges.

Travel tips for Mozambique

  • 1

    Always carry cash (MZN) as ATMs are scarce outside major cities like Maputo and internet payments are unreliable.

  • 2

    Learn basic Portuguese phrases like 'Obrigado' (thank you) as English is only widely spoken in tourist areas.

  • 3

    Use a 4x4 or reputable local transport for long-distance travel—road conditions vary drastically between regions.
