Mozambique

The best time to visit Mozambique is in April and November. Mozambique is for the most part visited as a beach destination. The waterfront resorts can be visited consistently, however, January and February will more often than not be exceptionally wet, which may ruin an ocean-side occasion. Diving and snorkelling are at their best from April to June and from September to November. During these months the water is clear and quiet, and perceivability is awesome. 
Wildlife viewing is best from the middle to the end of the Dry season from July to October, as the bush has thinned out and animals gather around the few residual water sources.

Gorongosa, Limpopo, and Niassa are excellent safari sites, however, they have limited wildlife and bad roads. The dry season, from July to October, is the greatest time to visit these parks. When water is scarce, animals congregate near dependable water sources. The hedge is also more narrow, making it easier to notice animals. May, June, and November are also pleasant months.

Coastal regions such as Maputo, Bazaruto, and the Quirimbas archipelagos are known for their beaches and oceans, as well as activities such as snorkelling, diving, and ocean safaris. These parks can be visited on a regular basis, albeit the rainy months of January and February should be avoided. The greatest months for water sports are April to June and September to November, when the ocean is generally quite clean, allowing for incredible visibility.

Mozambique has a range of various habitat types and ecologically rich and diverse wildlife. Infrastructure and facilities are still limited in certain parks, yet creature numbers are gradually on the expansion. Ungulates found here incorporate the common warthog, the hippopotamus and the South African giraffe and around twenty types of antelope including the common eland, the Lichtenstein's hartebeest, the greater kudu, the sable antelope, the nyala, the waterbuck, the blue wildebeest and the Cape bushbuck. There are African bush elephants, lions, leopards, Southeast African cheetahs, genets, mongooses, hyenas, jackals and various types of carnivores. Primates are represented by bushbabies, vervet monkeys, blue monkeys, chacma baboons and yellow baboons. 

Maputo Special Reserve offers incredible ocean safaris and elephants are effortlessly spotted ashore. Niassa and Limpopo are both huge ecosystems with a decent assortment of creatures and Gorongosa is home to four of the Big Five, and offers the best all-around exemplary safari as of now. The coral reefs are overflowing with beautiful fish. Humpback whales move through these waters and a few sorts of dolphins are around consistently. Bazaruto is one of the keep-going fortresses on the East African coast for the baffling dugong.

The best time to visit Mozambique for a wildlife viewing experience is during the dry season from May to October when water is scant, and animals assemble at waterholes and rivers. The bush is less lavish as of now, and animals are easier to spot. From October until the rains, it tends to be agonizingly hot. The wettest months are January and February, and the south of the nation once in a while encounters substantial flooding during those months. Other activities, for example, ocean safaris, snorkelling and diving can be possible throughout the year, although the water is for the most part clear and quiet with the best perceivability from April to June and from September to November.

Birding in Mozambique is by far one of the most remunerating experiences any beginner or genuine birder can envision. Large numbers of birds are either resident in or migrate across Mozambique, with around 768 species having been recorded, including 34 globally threatened species. Some notable examples include the lesser jacana, the crab-plover, the mangrove kingfisher, the Böhm's bee-eater, the racket-tailed roller, the African pitta, the green-headed oriole, the collared palm thrush, the pale batis, the lowland tiny greenbul, the lesser seed cracker and the locust finch.

Mozambique is a delightful place for Bird lovers which can be done throughout the year. However, the Best time for Birding is in the Wet season from November to April when migratory birds from Europe and northern Africa are available. During this time, most of the resident bird species are nesting and breeding plumage. The dry season is the best time for Wildlife viewing from May to October.

The cuisine of Mozambique has profoundly been influenced by the Portuguese and Arab, who presented new yields, flavourings, and cooking strategies. The staple nourishment for some, Mozambicans is xima (chi-mah), a thick porridge produced using maize/corn flour. Cassava and rice are likewise eaten as staple carbs. These are presented with sauces of vegetables, meat, beans or fish. Other typical ingredients incorporate cashew nuts, onions, bay leaves, garlic, coriander, paprika, pepper, red pepper, sugar cane, corn, millet, sorghum and potatoes. Piri-piri is a broadly Mozambican chilli sauce and marinade used for cooking and as an everyday table fixing. Feijoada is a generous bean stew, cooked with beef, pork or both. It has a base of tomato and onion and is stewed until it has a sleek surface. Mucapata is a starchy side dish that is something between cornmeal and xima.
