What to Pack

In general, casual, comfortable clothing is appropriate for a Mozambique vacation all year. If you're going to Mozambique for a beach vacation, bring plenty of light cotton tops and shorts, as well as a hat, sunglasses, beach sandals, and a pair of comfortable walking shoes. Keeping this in mind, it's best to dress in light, breezy clothing - and don't forget your swimsuit!

If you intend to take a lot of photos, bring extra memory cards and batteries for your camera, as these are hard to come by in Mozambique and very expensive if you do find them. Pack long-sleeved clothing to protect against mosquitoes in the evenings, and a fleece or jacket for winter game drives if you are going on safari with Mozambique. Remember that hauling heavy luggage will only give you headaches if you're trying to navigate Mozambique's chaotic public transportation, and you'll almost always be charged an extra fare for bulky bags on buses and chapas. This is unquestionably one of the most important things to know before traveling to Mozambique.
