Best Time to Visit Mozambique

Due to its subtropical climate, Mozambique remains sunny and warm throughout majority of the year. The driest months range from April to September, and a humid rainy season occurs from December to March.

Hurricane season also falls within this period, specifically during January and February. Mozambique’s coolest time of year ranges from June – August, where the temperatures will drop during nighttime. The August – October window during the dry season proves to be the best time to visit, as it provides for constant sunshine, manageable temperatures, and little to no rain.
