Mozambique is a southern African nation whose long Indian Ocean coastline is dotted with popular beaches as well as offshore marine parks.  Mozambique is a beautiful country most famous for its spectacular white sand beaches which are indisputably some of the very finest in the whole of Africa and as such it offers a really world-class beach getaway.

Mozambique is also a pet-friendly place to travel to with pets. While relocating with pets, it is important to keep the following things in mind-

• The first step is to microchip your pet with a 15 digit ISO compliant pet microchip.
• While a rabies titer test is not mandatory, all pets must have proof of the current rabies vaccination administered between 30 days and 12 months prior to entering the country. 
• Other vaccinations include, for dogs: Rabies, Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, and Parovirus.
• For cats: Feline Vioral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Panleukopenia.
• A licensed veterinarian must complete the Veterinary Certificate for Mozambique prior to travel.
• An import permit is required when entering Mozambique with personal pet and must be applied for well in advance.
• Pets must enter Mozambique via Maputo International Airport.
• All pets must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the port of entry.
• Mozambique does not publish a list of banned breeds.
