How to choose your Mozambique accommodation

When travelling from South Africa to Mozambique, especially if this is your very first time travelling in this uniquely African landscape, means having to properly plan your trip and your accommodation. Mozambique accommodation consists of some of the best upmarket lodges and hotels while it also has more than one self-catering lodge worthy of a luxury status.

As you plan your trip and try to determine which of the Mozambique lodges you want to stay in, there are many things that you will need to think about. With proper planning, you will be able to choose the kind of Mozambique accommodation that fits in perfectly with your budget while it will also suit your individual needs.

When you are planning your trip, the most important thing to think about is the type of accommodation best suited to your trip.

Think carefully about the type of Mozambique accommodation you want

With the sheer variety of Mozambique accommodation options, you will easily be able to figure out what kind of accommodation you want. Budget travellers can think about hostels and even couch surfing, although with either of these options, you are not going to have the freedom and the relaxation that you would have if you were to opt for a classic type of accommodation.

If you are not too fussy about where you stay and if you don’t mind getting a little rustic, and even sleeping outdoors, camping is always a great option. Mozambique has loads of camping spots, some of which are incredibly close to the beach. These kinds of accommodation facilities are almost always self-catered and because of their location, they can often be quite far away from towns and cities. On the plus side, when you are camping in this African nation, you can be sure that you are going to be quite safe.

The most popular type of accommodation in Mozambique has to be the self-catering option. Aside from camping, this accommodation can be set in rustic huts made out of wood, or in something a little more modern. The self-catering option is comfortable, affordable and it gives guests exactly what they would need in order to make the most of their stay. Self-catered accommodation also gives guests plenty of freedom to come and go as they please and to prepare their meals when they want to. Some facilities of this kind are even made to fall under the banner of luxury accommodation.

And then there are Mozambique lodges and hotels. These fantastic facilities can sometimes be self-catered but they often include meals or have an onsite restaurant. Many of the lodges and hotels are also often located in busy cities or holiday spots, where you can expect to mingle with plenty of other guests and perhaps even struggle to find a spot on the beach.

Guinjane Lodge is preferred for many reasons, and with our more secluded location as well as our affordable rates, you can book your dream Mozambique holiday today and treat yourself to a relaxing beach escape.
