Mozambique is one of the great Indian Ocean getaways. Its 2,500 km coastline hides the Bazaruto + Quirimbas archipelagos — world-class diving + island lodges. Maputo is famous for its wide avenues + Portuguese-colonial architecture; the Ilha de Moçambique is a UNESCO World Heritage site; and huge offshore natural-gas discoveries off Cabo Delgado are transforming the economy. Prawns + cashews remain traditional exports.

From the wide avenues of Maputo to the dive lodges of the Bazaruto Archipelago, every Mozambican number lives behind a +258. Pick the area code that matches your customer city.
