Good to know
  • Public holidays: government offices, banks and most businesses close. Supermarkets, restaurants, hotels and lodges usually stay open, often with shorter hours.
  • Holidays on a Sunday are taken on the following Monday. In 2027 no public holiday falls on a Sunday; three fall on a Saturday (1 May, 25 September, 25 December) and are not moved.
  • Maputo City Day (10 November) is not a national holiday, but the authorities usually grant a day off (tolerância de ponto) in Maputo City — confirmed each year.
  • Good Friday is a religious observance, not a public holiday: offices and shops normally open, although many people attend church services.
  • Festival dates are set each year by the organisers; the ones marked “approx.” follow the usual timing — check the official programme before booking. Long weekends around Independence Day and Peace Day are busy at beach destinations such as Inhambane, Tofo, Bilene and Ponta do Ouro.
