Travel Summary

  • The coastal areas of central Mozambique have a risk of cyclones during the rainy season, which normally runs from November to April. You should monitor local and international weather updates from the World Meteorological Organisation. See our Tropical Cyclones page.

  • There is an underlying threat from terrorism. Attacks, although unlikely, could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
