On the Road

In Mozambique, unlike UK, they drive on the right side of the road. Most roads are tarred and in good condition, but be aware of potholes while driving in rural areas.

The airport is accessible by the A104 road, which leads directly to the heart of Maputo. From the airport, you can also easily reach the main national roads, EN1 and EN4, leading to other major cities in Mozambique, like Beira and Nampula.

Climate & Currency

Mozambique enjoys a tropical climate, with warm temperatures throughout the year. The official currency is the Mozambique Metical (MZN).

Surrounding Cities

Maputo, the capital city of Mozambique, is brimming with culture and heritage. Further afield, it's worth exploring the sandy beaches of Inhambane and the verdant landscapes of Gorongosa National Park.

UK to Mozambique - What's Different
