Best time to visit Mozambique
Mozambique is best visited during the dry season from April to October. This is when the weather is cooler and drier, roads are passable, and diving conditions are ideal along the coast. The wet season from November to March brings tropical rains and can make rural roads difficult. Whale shark season runs from October to February around the Bazaruto Archipelago. The southern beaches near Vilanculos and Tofo are busiest from June to September.
