Internet in Mozambique: everything you need to know
Mozambique offers decent 4G/LTE in its cities and along the coast: Vodacom, Tmcel and Movitel cover Maputo, Beira and Nampula, and the interior and islands more unevenly. A prepaid eSIM, activated before departure, connects you the moment you land in Maputo: no desk queue, no local SIM to register, and no need for metical cash to get started.
- ●Good 4G in Maputo, Beira and Nampula, serviceable in Tofo (diving, whale sharks) and Vilanculos (gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago). It weakens on the islands and inland: at Bazaruto, the Quirimbas or Mozambique Island, bring offline maps, as WiFi stays rare outside the lodges.
- ●The currency is the metical (MZN), which floats: the price of an eSIM bought in euros before departure is therefore fixed in advance, independent of the local exchange rate. Portuguese is the official language: reliable data helps with translation, maps and bookings.
- ●A point to note: the cyclone season (roughly November to April) can disrupt travel and networks on the coast. An eSIM does not restore a network damaged or overloaded after a storm: keep offline maps and some slack in your itinerary.

Price per GB in Mozambique: what our data shows
According to the Datadopt Observatory, the lowest price per GB recorded in Mozambique comes down to 0.78 €/GB, across a sample of 574 fixed-volume offers retained for the measurement. That floor is reached on large data bundles : a 5 GB plan over 30 days costs noticeably more per GB. The real differentiator is still the depth of the offer : the more plans compete, the easier it is to find the duration and data volume that fit your trip.

Frequently asked questions
Why an eSIM rather than a local SIM in Mozambique?
Because a travel eSIM is bought and activated with your usual card before departure and connects you the moment you land in Maputo. You skip the desk queue, the identity registration a local SIM requires, and the need for metical cash.
Does the eSIM work on the islands and beaches?
4G coverage is good in Maputo, Beira and Nampula, serviceable in Tofo and Vilanculos, but weak on the islands (Bazaruto, Quirimbas). Bring offline maps and expect areas with no network offshore.
How much data for a trip to Mozambique?
For ten days between Maputo and the coast, 5–10 GB covers maps, lodge bookings and messaging. As the connection concentrates in cities and main routes, plan for offline use on the islands.
Does the price depend on the exchange rate?
No: you buy the eSIM in euros before departure, so the price is fixed in advance and does not depend on the metical (MZN) rate on arrival.
Can I share the connection with other devices?
Most Mozambique eSIM plans allow hotspot: the field is shown on each offer detail page.
