Holiday tips and Practicalities
For your convenience, some tips and practicalities for travels to Mozambique are listed below.
Visa requirements in Mozambique
It is generally recommended that travelers obtain visas prior to travelling to Mozambique. Only South Africans do not require a visa to go on holiday in Mozambique. Tourist and Business visas are normally valid for 2 months i.e. your visa has to be used within 2 months of the issue date (with stays between 30 to 90 days). Your passport must be valid 6 months after the date of your return and must have at least 2 blank pages in it. EU emergency passports (ETD) are accepted. 30-day visas and entry can be obtained on arrival at international airports in Mozambique, including Maputo airport and Vilankulo airport as well as when crossing the border into Mozambique from neighboring countries. Visas can be paid for in USD or in South African Rands (ZAR). A tourist visa costs 50 USD per person and it is important to bring cash as the airport officials do not accept credit cards. We recommend that children travel on their own passports. Visitors arriving in Vilankulo airport are also required to pay an airport tax of 10 USD per person.
Holiday Vaccinations
Vaccinations are required for travel to Mozambique and you are therefore advised to speak to your doctor. We recommend getting vaccinated against hepatitis A (Gammaglobulin/Havrix) and against tetanus/diphtheria. Please note that Mozambique is a country where there is a risk of contracting Malaria, and we therefore advise you to take caution. There is no vaccine against Malaria. All Malaria prophylaxis consists in taking pills, starting 3 weeks before departure and continuing 4 weeks after your return. Some prophylactic drugs are taken once a week (Lariam), and some every day (Malarone). As a supplement you can use mosquito repellents, such as Autan, which is available over the counter in pharmacies. Local mosquito repellent sprays are available in all Nyati Beach Lodge bungalows. For more information about vaccines please speak to your doctor.
Holiday travel insurance
You may need additional medical insurance for travel outside Europe. We therefore strongly recommend that you sign an insurance policy with complete cover in the event of an emergency, which may require you to return home during your trip.
Drinking water on your holiday
We advise against drinking water directly from the tap. Always drink bottled water.
Tipping on your holiday
You are normally not expected to tip during your stay at Nyati Beach Lodge. However, should you wish to, you may give the lodge manager a sealed envelope with a sum that you deem suitable, so that the amount can be divided up between the staff.
