Mozambique has a few toll roads on major highways, particularly those connecting Maputo with other cities and neighboring countries. The toll fees help maintain the roads, which are generally in good condition compared to other parts of the country.
Mozambique has a tropical to subtropical climate, with a wet season and a dry season. The coastal regions experience higher humidity, while the interior regions tend to be drier and cooler.
The dry season is characterized by warm temperatures and low rainfall. Temperatures range from 64°F to 84°F (18°C to 29°C), making it the ideal time for travel and outdoor activities.
The wet season brings heavy rainfall, particularly in the northern and central regions. Temperatures remain warm, ranging from 70°F to 90°F (21°C to 32°C), but the humidity can be high, especially along the coast.
The official currency of Mozambique is the Mozambican Metical (MZN). The Metical is abbreviated as MZN and symbolized as MT.
Metical banknotes are available in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 MZN. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, and 10 Meticais, as well as smaller denominations of centavos.
Currency exchange services are available in major cities, international airports, and border crossings. ATMs are also widely available, particularly in urban areas, and accept international debit and credit cards.
Credit and debit cards are accepted in major hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers. However, cash is preferred in smaller establishments and rural areas, so it is advisable to carry some Meticais.
