January signals the beginning of Mozambique’s rainy season, occasionally accompanied by cyclones along the coast, especially in the southern regions. Despite this, January visitors can still enjoy the beaches stretching from Ponta do Ouro to Inhaca Island.
February and March continue with similar weather patterns as January but offer ideal conditions for snorkeling with whale sharks and observing nesting turtles, particularly leatherback and loggerhead turtles. These species prefer the beaches extending from Bazaruto to Ponta do Ouro during this time.April & May
In April, after the summer rains have subsided, Mozambique enjoys pleasant weather with sunny days and gentle breezes, creating a lush green landscape. The ocean conditions are optimal for scuba diving, with clear and tranquil waters ideal for encountering diverse marine life up close.
May is considered the prime time to explore Mozambique’s beaches, renowned for its World Heritage Sites along the coast. It offers excellent conditions for coastal visits and beach outings.
June to August
During June, July, and August in Mozambique, evenings may feel slightly cooler compared to other seasons, but this should not discourage visitors. In early June, game reserves in the north start to reopen, and travelers can witness the humpback whale migration along the coastline. These months, characterized by their tropical climate, signify the beginning of the optimal time to visit Mozambique, particularly for those seeking an authentic Safari adventure combined with a beach holiday ambiance.
September & October
Both September and October boast tranquil and warm weather conditions. September is ideal for spotting humpback whales, while October marks the onset of the turtle breeding season. Diving and snorkeling on Mozambique tours offer a heightened chance of encountering these marine creatures during this time.
November & December
November in Mozambique brings sunny, hot days but also signals the start of the rainy season. While humidity increases, the cool ocean waters offer respite, perfect for swimming, especially from traditional dhows. Renowned for its excellent birdwatching, November is a prime time for this activity in Mozambique.
For a December visit, especially during Christmas, it’s wise to book accommodations early. This month marks the arrival of nesting turtles and presents opportunities for marine enthusiasts to observe whale sharks, reef sharks, and manta rays, making it an ideal time for marine wildlife sightings.
