Mozambique Safety - Is it Safe to Travel in Mozambique?


For travellers who are concerned about Mozambique safety – is it safe to travel in Mozambique? Generally speaking, the answer is yes. Mozambique generally is a safe and tourist-friendly destination, with plenty of friendly locals and a relaxed way of life. With that said however, the country has had its fair share of unrest of the years, and like anywhere else you visit in Africa, it is best to take basic precautions when visiting Mozambique.

Petty crime can occur in the cities, especially in Maputo, so make sure that you keep valuables safely locked up and out of sight. Walking around with a camera in plain sight is not a good idea in the busy cities, and the same applies to jewellery and other valuables. Invest in a good money bag to keep your money in when walking around.

The rainy season brings tropical cyclones between November and April, as well as strong floods during these months – avoid coastal areas if you travel to Mozambique during these times. Be careful when approaching wildlife at game parks, and do not ever attempt to feed wild animals you see.
