I spent a full month travelling across this country, and now? In this post-pandemic world, the cost of travel has been skyrocketing, but Mozambique has managed to remain relatively inexpensive. As always, I recommend heading to Skyscanner to compare flight deals and find the cheapest option. This will show you the cheapest dates to fly and ensure you have the very best deal possible. Despite this being the middle of the rainy season, I visited in January and only had a single day of wet weather.
It meant I was able to take advantage of the lower prices while also lounging on the beaches in the sun. I lucked out, of course, so visiting at this time of year does involve taking a risk on the weather. Allow me to introduce you to one of my favourite websites in the world: Secret Flying! And for all of the above: you may find it cheaper to first look for flights to Johannesburg and then make your way to Mozambique from South Africa.
Despite that, costs are lower than most Western countries, so accommodation in the country still offers up good value for money. Workaway is another option, where you can help provide work farming, language-learning, charity work in exchange for food and accommodation from a host.
Its an excellent way to spend more time in Mozambique, get to know the country away from the tourist centres, and save on your travel budget. And then we have hostels. My single room was basic but clean the double rooms looked much bigger and nicer!
Breakfast is tasty if you decide to eat onsite, but I decided to try the nearby restaurants instead: there were several of them within a short walk. If you want a bit of luxury travel in Mozambique, stay at Baia Sonambula. I spent five nights and considered cancelling the rest of my trip in order to spend even longer there. Despite the relative discomforts especially after my stay at Baia Sonambula , I really liked it and would stay here again.
