What to pack for Mozambique

1 more image

Miscellaneous: Always a good idea when travelling anywhere is to have a couple of copies of your Passport. In Mozambique this will be extra important. Other than at the border, never show or handover your passport. Always have a copy on you 24hrs a day. The Police like to 'fine' people who do not have ID. They also like to seize Passports until 'fines' are paid. You can say you lost your Passport and are going to the Embassy to get a new one or that the Hotel insisted on keeping it. Never go out of your hotel without a copy!
