Things to do in Mozambique
We tailor-make beach holidays and honeymoons in Mozambique. Go for pure relaxation, or try fishing, diving or snorkelling on the Indian Ocean coast or on Lake Niassa (Mozambique side of Lake Malawi). To combine with a safari, we recommend Tanzania or southern Africa.
When to go to Mozambique
The all-round best months to come to Mozambique are May to October. This is the dry season and perfect for enjoying the beautiful Mozambique beaches. January to March is the rainiest and hottest time, so avoided by most people, however November to March are generally the best diving months.
