Using mobile data in Mozambique: local tips
- 4G in towns, thinner beyond. The regulator’s tests found 4G concentrated in cities and larger towns, with older networks still dominant elsewhere. Expect patchy data between towns.
- Remote districts fall short. Both Vodacom and Movitel met 4G targets in Vilankulo, Maputo, Pemba and Lichinga, but not in remoter districts such as Lago, Marrupa and Mossuril.
- 5G is only starting. 5G licences were issued to all operators in June 2026, with a year to reach provincial capitals. For now, plan on 4G.
- Gorongosa National Park. The park says its Chitengo lodge has good cell coverage and Wi-Fi in common areas; download offline maps before game drives elsewhere in the park.
- Have offline backups. After the October 2024 election, operators restricted mobile data and social apps for several weeks. Keep maps, bookings and key contacts saved offline.
Checked against official sources in September 2026. Services and coverage change — check the app or operator before you travel.
