Mozambique
Official Languages
Portuguese is the official language, but many speak and understand English as well.
Currency & Credit Cards
Metical (pronounced meticash) is the official currency, but many establishments accept US$ and the South African Rand (ZAR). The exchange rate is not always so transparent…The use of credit cards is not widely spread, only some hotels and resorts accept this form of payment. Always first enquire what the options are.
When to travel
The winter months are a very enjoyable time to travel, since day temperatures are very pleasant and the rainy season is during summer. Not surprisingly the beach experience is also very agreeable in summer.
Visa Requirements
Usually, when the stay is less than 90 days, Europeans do not require a Visa, only a passport which is valid for 6 months after the departure date.
Confirm the latest requirements with your travel agency.
What not to forget
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and hat
- Insect repellent
- Malaria medication (please be advised by your GP)
