Per-payment figures are the all-in total divided by 3 and rounded. The number of payments and the schedule differ by partner — Happy Pay splits over 2 — and your own plan depends on that partner's approval. You see it in full before you confirm. Fares are the lowest seen for a sample date about six weeks out, not a quote; airline pricing moves constantly.

About Nampula
Nampula is the largest city in northern Mozambique and the commercial centre for the region, ringed by dramatic granite inselbergs rising straight out of the plain.
For travellers it is the inland gateway to Ilha de Moçambique — the UNESCO-listed former colonial capital on a coral island about three hours east — and to the northern coast beyond it.
Getting in from the airport
Nampula Airport (APL) is about 4 km from the city. Ilha de Moçambique is roughly three hours east by road — arrange transport in advance rather than on arrival.
Entry requirements for South African passport holders
South African passport holders have historically been able to enter Mozambique for short tourist stays without a pre-arranged visa, though requirements have changed more than once. Confirm the current position before you travel.
Entry rules change. Confirm the current requirements with the destination's embassy or consulate before you travel — this page is a guide, not an authority.
