When to go on a Mozambique Safari

Starting at the beginning of the year, January to March is Mozambique’s rainy season, characterised by hot days and unpredictable thunderstorms. It might not be picture-perfect beach weather every day, but the water is warm and tropical. In April and May, the rains are coming to an end, the humidity is going down and the temperature is a lovely 25 degrees. June to September are possibly some of the best months to visit Mozambique and conditions are all-round blissful; handily this is also when the humpback whales start to migrate down the coast. Towards the end of the year, the temperatures start to rise (along with the humidity) but October and November should be fairly clear of rain and are great months to visit. In December, the showers start to appear again, but if you’d like to spend Christmas on the beach, Mozambique isn’t a bad shout at all.
April to November is the best time to visit Mozambique with warm days, little rain, and clear skies, making it perfect for beach time, diving, and safaris. For top-notch diving, aim for April to June or September to November. If whale watching is on your list, visit between June and October. "
