March is the wettest month in Mozambique, with rivers and low-lying areas occasionally suffering from flooding. There is still enough sporadic sunshine to have an enjoyable trip to the country’s cities, but the less urban areas are harder to access at this time.
Although at the peak of the rainy season, some find March the ideal time to visit Mozambique’s main cities - such as the capital of Maputo - where you will be able to explore the streets and take in the architecture away from the usual holiday crowds.
Mozambique Island is another fantastic destination at this time as you will have the island almost to yourself when it comes to tourists, with the possibility of getting a reduced rate at a hotel or lodge. Today the island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts visitors from all over the world. The island has only 16,000 inhabitants, and the buildings are a wonderful mixture of colonial Portuguese and old Swahili architecture.
