Flights
Maputo is served by Ethiopian Airlines, Qatar Airways, South African Airways, Turkish Airlines and TAP Portugal (direct from Lisbon). Count on 10 to 11 hours of flying and roughly €700 return.
Visa / ETA
Since 2025, nationals of 29 countries must obtain an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) before departure, via the official Mozambican portal. Allow several weeks ahead to be safe — your airline will check this document at boarding. Around $48. Passport valid for 6+ months after arrival is mandatory. We send you the accommodation letter needed for your application.

Transfer
Around 3 hours by road from Maputo, on a well-maintained tarmac road through typical African landscapes. We book the vehicle for you. New option: arrive by Cessna, flying over the turquoise lagoons.
Accommodation
Our centre is on the beach at the Palmeiras complex — wi-fi, bar and restaurant right on the spot. Other options available in Bilene to suit your preferences and budget.
Health
No vaccinations required. Antimalarials recommended only if you plan a safari or city visit. Teresa, co-founder, is an emergency nurse at the International Red Cross — you're in safe hands.
What to bring
Lycra is the priority. Sunscreen, kite-friendly sunglasses, a cap, cash in euros. A light jumper just in case. A basic first-aid kit is advised.
