Safety

You should be aware of the risks of crime, poor road safety standards and minimal health facilities in Mozambique. That said, Mozambique is a relatively low-risk country as far as crime is concerned and the vast majority of visits to Mozambique are trouble-free.

Keep a close watch on your possessions in busy places and keep all your valuables in a hidden money belt. Never drive at night and set off as early as possible so that you have as much time as possible to deal with delays. When dealing with officials, be friendly and patient and treat them with respect. They are likely to reciprocate.

If you are visiting the Bazaruto Archipelago, the only real dangers are razor clams which are exposed at low tides. It is recommended you wear sandals to avoid cutting your feet on these.
