Getting Around

By Bus: On a daily basis you are able to use Machibombo (coaches) that run between major towns . Another option that is away from main routes, is the using of a chapa (converted lorries or minibuses) to get around. They both leave early in the morning and make frequent stops.

Those wishing to travel to Mozambique should have a valid passport for at least 6 months after their departure date from the country, with 2 clear pages for stamping. For the best visa advice please contact your local Mozambican Embassy to find out what the latest requirements are. Visas are currently required by everyone except citizens of South Africa, Zambia, Botswana and Swaziland. If you are planning on taking heaps of photographs or are a keen photographer it is a good idea to pack extra batteries and memory cards for your camera, as these are expensive and difficult to come across locally in Mozambique. Mozambique is home to several of the best dive sites in the Indian Ocean and the marine life is exceptional. Some highlights include year-round diving with manta rays and whale sharks, masses of which peak from October to April.
