Best Time to Visit

Discover the best time to experience Mozambique's wonders fully.

Choosing the best time to visit Mozambique is key to experiencing the country's pristine beaches, spectacular wildlife, and vibrant culture to the fullest. The country's climate is predominantly tropical, marked by a wet season and a dry season, each offering unique experiences.

Dry Season

The dry season, stretching from May to November, is widely regarded as the optimal time for a Mozambique vacation. Skies are clear, temperatures are comfortable, and the humidity is lower, making it perfect for wildlife viewing and beach holidays.

The Mozambique coastline, known for its idyllic beaches and islands like Bazaruto and Quirimbas, is best enjoyed in the dry season. With little to no rain, diving and snorkeling conditions are at their prime, offering crystal clear visibility to explore the vibrant underwater world.

During these drier months, especially from June to October, wildlife congregates around water sources, making safaris in Gorongosa National Park and the Niassa Reserve exceptionally rewarding. This period also coincides with the humpback whale migration, a majestic spectacle off the coast.

Wet Season

While the wet season from December to April brings heavier rains and higher temperatures, it’s a time when the country bursts into life. Landscapes turn lush and green, and it’s the season for bird watchers to revel in the influx of migratory species.

Travel during the wet season can be challenging, with the potential for disrupted travel plans due to heavy rains, particularly in January and February. However, this is also when the country is less crowded, offering a more secluded vacation experience.

The personalized attention that our specialist, Ms. Shalini Thakur, gave us was exceptional. She worked closely with me to design an absolutely perfect trip. She pointed out unique activities to do and sites to see that I had never thought about. Shalini prepared us well for our trip. The flights, hotels, in country transportation, and tours were 5-stars as we were treated like VIP's. We were the recipients of outstanding customer service this entire trip, well exceeding our expectations. It really was a fantastic trip. We are planning to travel again in the future and GoWay will be our GoTo travel agency.Pat Campbell

Our trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best). Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW

We have used Goway Travel for previous trips and have been very happy with their excellent service. Our last trip to New Zealand and Australia was no exception. Our agent, Lori Mazzono, got tuned into the sort of trip we were hoping to have immediately. The various booking she provided were, without exception, exceptional and exactly what we envisioned, We really don't think we would have changed anything. tBruce Belshaw

Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was incredibly responsive and quick to assist with every update and change my clients made throughout the planning process. Her expertise was invaluable, from recommending the perfect resorts to advising on the best way to travel between the islands. My clients loved every moment of their trip, especially their resort stays and overwater bungalow experiences. As this was their honeymoon, creating a seamless and memorable journey was so important, and Mary exceeded expectations. They rated their experience a 5 out of 5 and could not have been happier. Thank you, Mary, for your outstanding support and attention to detail. I truly appreciated your partnership and would not hesitate to work with you again for future South Pacific Island bookings. I am from the TravelStore in Fresno.Jenn W

We had an exceptional experience with Goway Travel on our recent trip to Africa. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed, which made the entire journey stress-free. The recommendations on where to go and what to do were absolutely fantastic! Each stop felt perfectly curated and exceeded our expectations. It was clear that Goway truly understands the destinations they offer and knows how to create a memorable, well-balanced itinerary. A special thank you to our travel consultant, Bijal, who was outstanding throughout the entire process. Bijal was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive while we prepared for the trip, ensuring that all our questions were answered and that every detail was taken care of. Their guidance made a big difference in building our confidence and excitement leading up to the trip. I would highly recommend Goway Travel to anyone looking for a seamless, expertly planned travel experience. We will definitely be using them again for our future adventures! Harjit C

Elisa planned our trip. We were met at the airport by Paul who drove us to Arusha. Adam, our guide and driver was with us the whole trip and was very knowledgeable about the country and the animals & birds we encountered. Accommodations were excellent, meals were delicious and the Tanzanian people we met at each location were so kind and welcoming. A wonderful trip.pat vickers

We had a wonderful trip to Peru for 11 days organized by Goway. Overall the trip was great, we loved our guides throughout, some of the hotels were truly amazing and it was helpful having everything organized and having a point person to ask questions and check in while we were there. Some main highlights were: 1) Machu Picchu- I am so glad we did two tours, because the weather was perfect for views, but also had an opportunity to see Machu Picchu more in depth with a knowledgeable and friendly guide and had a little extra time in Aguas Calientes to shop, explore and even visit the butterfly garden and do some birdwatching. 2) Cusco especially the Hotel Aranwa Cusco. The hotel was incredible, excellent service, modern updates, it was a true highlight of the trip. Cusco itself was also a highlight, loved our half day tour, plus getting ideas for our guide on what else to see in our free time and where to eat. 3) Lima- Aloft Miraflores was another highlight, very modern, nice pool and the best breakfast out of the hotels we stayed in. The location in Miraflores was also perfect, as there were plenty of restaurants, cafes and attractions nearby. 4) Everyone at Condor was great, from ensuring we had all our documents, tickets and itinerary to even stepping in to get water and agua Florida when we were feeling the altitude sickness the first hours in Cusco. Most of our rides and transfers were very comfortable and made the trip run smooth through all the different locations. I have been telling my friends and family how wonderful the experience with Goway has been for our Peru adventure. Eric Paul Schatzel
