The cooler dry season from April to October is considered the best time to visit with clear skies, plenty of sun and almost no rain. November is a less predictable month of transition – sometimes the rains start, although many days remain hot and sunny. The rainy season generally arrives in December and lasts through until March (humidity can be high during this period too). Note that Mozambique’s location in the rain shadow of Madagascar means that it usually experiences a relatively low annual rainfall. Cyclones can occur in February.
Please consult your doctor for advice on medical precautions against malaria. Precautions against Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Cholera and Bilharzia are recommended but please seek current travel advice from your GP at least 4 – 6 weeks prior to travel. If entering Mozambique from a yellow fever zone, possession of a valid international yellow fever inoculation certificate is essential.
