Mozambique - Indian Ocean Islands

Mozambique Weddings are arranged and although no legalities can be done, we offer services of a local minister who has a network throughout South Africa so we can take care of all legalities prior to departure.  The best times to visit are between May and November, when both rainfall and temperatures are at their lowest. It’s also possible to travel during the early part of the warmer, rainy season from November to January (though be prepared for high temperatures, especially in January). The heaviest rains fall from about February to March/April where many of the roads become impassable and flooding is common in the south and centre.
