The sweet spot for Mozambique flights is May through September, when the dry season brings clear skies, calm seas, and whale shark season near Inhambane. Avoid December and January if cost is a priority — southern hemisphere summer holidays and European winter escapes push fares sharply higher. February and March are the wettest and cheapest months, though some coastal roads become impassable.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Peak | High | Southern hemisphere summer holidays keep demand and fares elevated. |
| February | Budget | Low | Wet season; lowest fares but heavy rainfall and humidity. |
| March | Budget | Low | Cyclone risk on the coast; fares remain low. |
| April | Mid | Medium | Rains ease; Easter travel pushes demand up briefly. |
| May | Mid | Medium | Dry season begins; good conditions for wildlife and diving. |
| June | Mid | Medium | Whale shark season starts near Inhambane; book ahead. |
| July | Peak | High | European summer peak; fares rise 40-60% above average. |
| August | Peak | High | Busiest month; book 10-12 weeks out for best fares. |

Everything you need to know before booking your Mozambique flight on Laters.
Direct international routes to Mozambique are limited. South African carriers including Airlink operate direct flights from Johannesburg to Maputo (MPM) in around 1 hour 10 minutes, and Ethiopian Airlines flies direct from Addis Ababa. Most European, Gulf, and Asian travellers connect through Johannesburg, Nairobi, or Dubai. You can compare all available routes on Laters.com.
February is typically the cheapest month for flights to Mozambique, with average one-way fares from regional hubs starting around USD 280. The trade-off is that February falls in the wet season, with heavy rainfall and some coastal roads becoming difficult. If you want cheap fares with reasonable weather, April and May offer good shoulder-season value as the rains ease.

Singapore Travel Agent LicenceTA04059Mozambique rewards travellers who plan ahead and stay flexible. Fares spike sharply in July and August when European holiday demand peaks, and again over December. Booking 10 to 14 weeks out from Johannesburg or Nairobi typically yields the best value. It suits adventurous couples and divers more than package-holiday seekers, and the BNPL window is best used on shoulder-season departures when fares are predictable.
Getting there is a lesson in patience: most flights funnel through Johannesburg, Nairobi, or Addis Ababa, and Maputo's single arrivals hall can mean a slow crawl through immigration. But the Bazaruto and Quirimbas Archipelagos make the connections worth it, and prices once you land are refreshingly gentle for the Indian Ocean. Go for the whale sharks near Inhambane and the Portuguese-influenced streets of Maputo, not for a quick weekend package. Just don't expect a lounge to wait it out in.
| September | Mid | Medium | Whale shark season continues; shoulder-season value returns. |
|---|
| October | Mid | Medium | Warm and dry; good for beach and archipelago visits. |
|---|
| November | Mid | Medium | Rains begin to build; fares stay mid-range. |
|---|
| December | Peak | High | Festive season; fares spike, accommodation books out fast. |

Visa requirements for Mozambique vary by nationality. Citizens of SADC member countries generally enjoy visa-free entry. Many other nationalities, including those from the UK, US, and EU, can obtain a visa on arrival at Maputo International Airport, though fees apply and requirements can change. Always verify current entry requirements with the official Mozambique embassy or your government's travel advisory before departure.
Maputo International Airport (MPM) is around 7 km from the city centre. Metered taxis cost approximately MZN 500-800 and take 15-25 minutes depending on traffic. Ride-hailing apps including inDriver operate in Maputo and are generally cheaper, around MZN 350-550. Many hotels also offer pre-arranged shuttle services.
The best time to visit Mozambique is May through October, during the dry season. Skies are clear, the Indian Ocean is calm, and whale shark encounters near Inhambane are possible from June through November. July and August are peak season with the best weather but also the highest fares and busiest beaches. The wet season runs roughly November through March, bringing heavy rain and occasional cyclone risk on the coast.
There are no direct flights from London to Mozambique. The most common routing is via Johannesburg, giving a total journey time of roughly 13 to 15 hours including the connection. British Airways and Qatar Airways (via Doha) are popular options from the UK. Compare routes and split the fare on Laters.com.
Your e-ticket is issued immediately after your booking is confirmed on Laters.com, regardless of which BNPL provider you use. You do not need to wait for all instalments to clear before receiving your ticket. Check your email inbox and spam folder if it does not appear within a few minutes of booking.
Baggage allowances vary by airline and fare class. Most full-service carriers on routes to Mozambique, such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, and British Airways, include at least 23 kg of checked baggage in economy. Budget and regional carriers may charge separately for checked bags. If you are travelling with diving equipment, check your airline's sporting equipment policy in advance, as oversized or heavy items typically incur extra fees. You can add extra baggage at Laters.com checkout and split the cost.
