Recommended vaccines, malaria precautions, and staying healthy on your Mozambique trip.
Visit a travel health clinic 6–8 weeks before departure. Requirements vary by your home country and the regions you'll visit.
Common Recommendations
- Hepatitis A and typhoid — recommended for most travellers
- Tetanus and routine vaccinations up to date
- Yellow fever certificate if arriving from a yellow fever endemic country
- Malaria prophylaxis for most of Mozambique — consult your doctor
On the Ground
Drink bottled or filtered water. Use DEET-based repellent, especially at dawn and dusk. Major lodges have first-aid supplies; serious emergencies may require evacuation to Maputo or South Africa — travel insurance is essential.
Dive-specific insurance
DAN Southern Africa offers dive insurance with decompression and evacuation cover to South Africa — recommended for scuba travellers.
Medical facilities
Inhambane hospital handles emergency triage; Maputo private clinics are better equipped. For serious emergencies, evacuation to South Africa may be necessary.
