  • AccessTake the airplane from Maputo to Nampula. After arriving in Nampula, you may choose to take "Chapa" (mini-ban) to Mozambique Island or run the risk of hitchhiking. In case you rent a car in the Nampula Airport, it is advised to mention the destination, since the bridge of the length of 3,750m to the Island is very narrow and difficult to pass through for some models of 4WD.
