backpacking during December

Country forums / Africa / Mozambique

Im planning travelling through mozi in the next 2 weeks or so. am i crazy.
i know a lot of south africans go to mozambique this time of year. am i going
to find acc. i have a tent in case but have been told camp sites are fully booked weeks
or even months in advanced.

looked online for backpackers and hostels and they seem pretty full. the one mozi
accomodation website stated i was the 16000th visitor for the day.

any suggestions

If your trip coincides with the South African school hols then you are likely to face a challenge as half of Guateng will have decamped in their bakkies to Mozambique so they can ride their jetskis and go fishing etc. A lot of places will be booked out but the fact that you have a tent gives you some flexibility. Be prepared for some some knockbacks though.
