Frequently Asked Questions
Is there coverage at Tofo Beach for whale shark diving?
Tofo village and the dive operators on the beach have Vodacom coverage. Coverage at sea during whale shark dives is absent — download all booking and emergency information before going out.
Does the eSIM cover Vilankulo for the Bazaruto Archipelago?
Vilankulo has Vodacom coverage. The Bazaruto, Benguerra, and Bazaruto Archipelago islands have no mobile coverage — resorts use satellite Wi-Fi.
Is there coverage in Gorongosa National Park?
The main Chitengo camp has basic coverage. Game drive areas inside the park have no signal. Download offline maps and the Gorongosa app before entry.
Does the eSIM cover the Quirimbas Archipelago?
No — the remote Quirimbas islands (Ibo, Medjumbe, Quilaléa) have no mobile coverage and operate on satellite Wi-Fi only.
What ride-hailing apps work in Maputo?
Bolt operates in Maputo. Local Mytaxi also works. Both are more reliable than street taxis.
What speeds can I expect in Maputo?
Vodacom delivers 10–30 Mbps on 4G in central Maputo.
What language is needed in Mozambique?
Portuguese is the official language. Download the offline Portuguese pack. Local languages (Makua, Tsonga, Sena) are spoken in different regions.
Is M-Pesa useful in Mozambique?
Yes — Vodacom M-Pesa is the main mobile payment platform. Many accommodation deposits and local transactions can be handled via M-Pesa.

eSIM Guide for Mozambique
Your eSIM connects to major carriers in Mozambique:
Available networks: 4G
Mozambique is southeastern Africa's coastal gem — 2,700km of Indian Ocean coastline, the Quirimbas Archipelago, pristine coral reefs at Tofo and Bazaruto, and the Gorongosa National Park recovery story. Vodacom provides coverage in Maputo and main cities, with variable reach to the islands and dive destinations that make Mozambique so compelling. Data is essential in Maputo for using Mytaxi or Bolt, navigating the capital, and booking dhow sailing trips to the Bazaruto Archipelago.
Vodacom's 4G covers Maputo, Beira, Nampula, Pemba, and main coastal towns. The EN1 coastal road from Maputo north has coverage in towns. Tofo Beach (near Inhambane, the whale shark and manta ray capital of Africa) has coverage in town and basic signal at the dive sites. Vilankulo — gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago — has Vodacom coverage.
Gorongosa National Park in the central highlands has basic coverage at the main camp. The park is one of Africa's great wildlife recovery stories — from near-extinction to a thriving ecosystem in 20 years. Interior game drive areas have no coverage.
The Quirimbas Archipelago in the far north (some of Africa's most remote luxury eco-lodges) and the islands of Ibo, Medjumbe, and Quilaléa have no mobile coverage — these operate entirely on satellite Wi-Fi.
Mozambique uses the metical (MZN). The country is Portuguese-speaking — download an offline Portuguese translation pack. M-Pesa is the main mobile money platform.
