Practical tips for Mozambique
- The currency is the Mozambican Metical (MZN); carry cash outside Maputo, and keep South African Rand (ZAR) or US Dollars for major tourism and visa payments.
- For short urban trips use ride-hailing apps or tuk-tuks (chapas are cheap local minivans but can be cramped and erratic), and hire a 4x4 if exploring coastal sand tracks.
- Malaria is prevalent throughout the country, so take prescription prophylaxis, pack strong DEET mosquito repellent, and always sleep under a mosquito net.
