Driving in Mozambique

Driving in Mozambique differs in some key ways to driving in the UK.

Driving on the Right

In Mozambique, people drive on the right-hand side of the road, the opposite of the UK where people drive on the left. Be aware of this change, especially when navigating roundabouts and intersections.

Documentation

Remember to carry your driving licence, passport, and car rental agreement when you're exploring. It's the law here.

Off-road Adventures

Consider a 4x4 if you plan to venture off the main roads and explore Mozambique's rugged landscape. Many secondary roads in the country can be unpaved or sandy.

Weather & Climate

Unlike the UK where you might experience frequent rain, Mozambique is mostly dry with a temperature range of 20°C and 28°C. Prepare to enjoy a fair share of sunny days!

Currency

In Mozambique, you'll need to get acquainted with a new currency: the Mozambican Metical. However, US dollars are also widely accepted.

Exploring beyond Tete

Tete is just the beginning. You can take your rental from Chingozi Airport and explore Beira to enjoy Mozambique's stunning coastline, or drive to the Gorongosa National Park, which is considered the country's wildlife crown jewel.

So buckle up, and experience the freedom to explore Mozambique at your own pace with your chosen rental car from Chingozi Airport!
