Mozambique in January

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

The scenery in January is green and lush.

This time of year is typically the best time to see newborn animals and migratory birds.

While it’s not ideal for outdoor activities, all is not lost. When conditions don’t allow for fun in the sun, it is a good time for spa treatments and yoga classes.

Some birds you can see here are the crab plover, the grey-crowned crane, the lemon-breasted canary, Livingstone’s turaco, and the palm-nut vulture. Mozambique has over 750 bird species, so pack your binoculars to view them closely!

Even though wildlife viewing isn’t at its best, you still get to appreciate the beautiful island resorts.

Weather in January

While rain is present in January, showers usually occur in the afternoon, so your days aren’t all about thunderstorms.

It is often best to bird at this time of year, as migratory birds appear from regions such as Europe and Asia.
