Mozambique Islands
When to Visit
The Mozambique Islands enjoy a tropical climate and are equally suitable for a holiday at any time of year. However, the summer months from October through to April can be very humid and may not suit people who suffer in such conditions.
An Year Round Holiday Destination
These tropical islands offer wonderful weather most of the year around, with hot summers (October to March) and slightly cooler winters (April to September).
Summer rainfall is the norm although almost every day is sunny and rainfall is usually in the form of brief, intense showers.
The wetter months from October to April can get a bit stuffy.
Ensure you take high factor sun cream and a lightweight waterproof outer garment, whatever time of year you plan to holiday in the Mozambique Islands.
Seasonal Activities
The tropical climate enjoyed by the islands means that most of the popular holiday activities - snorkelling, diving, sailing, sea kayaking and deep sea fishing - are available throughout the year.
The excellent whale watching opportunities around the Mozambique Islands islands are, however, restricted to the months of August through to early November, after which the whales migrate.
The islands waters are also home to an abundance of dolphins and the rarer and more mystical dugong, or sea cow, which early sailors thought was a type of mermaid.
