Malaria:

Given Mozambique's malaria risk, we strongly recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before your trip.

Mozambique is a high-risk malaria country, and we highly recommend you visiting a doctor before you travel. Make sure you are up-to-date on routine vaccines as well. Some of the precautionary measures you can take to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes:

Mosquitoes which carry malaria generally bite between dusk and dawn.

Close windows and make sure the nets are down
Use mosquito repellent on exposed skin, spray your accommodation with an aerosol insecticide or use mosquito coils
Wear long-sleeved, light-coloured clothing, long trousers and socks
Sleep under a net
Ceiling fans and air conditioners are also effective in preventing mosquito bites
Chemoprophylaxis helps to reduce the chances of getting ill with malaria.

These medicines must be taken according to the instructions given by your local medical practitioner or pharmacist. Malaria symptoms may only develop 10 to 14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Even if you have taken chemoprophylaxis, you can still contract malaria, and then this incubation period might be longer.

Flu- like symptoms such as fever, headache, sweating, fatigue, myalgia (back and limbs), abdominal pain, diarrhoea, appetite loss, nausea and vomiting, could be an indication of malaria. You should seek immediate medical attention if you have flu- like symptoms for up to six months after visiting a malaria area. also under healthcare put an update on covid 19 and how it was here in mozambique:

Navigating your journey is made easier through well-connected airports. While Maputo serves as the primary hub for international flights, Inhambane airport, a mere 23 km from Tofo, receives limited international flights and a daily connection from Maputo with LAM. We facilitate road transfers from Maputo for added convenience.

There are options of flying into Vilanculos Airport as well.

For our safari experiences, Maputo, Johannesburg, or Nelspruit Kruger Mpumalanga are recommended ports of entry.
