Beira Halal Travel Guide

Beira is the second largest city in Mozambique and capital of the Sofala Province. During the 1950s and 60s, before the independence of Mozambique, Beira was a playground for white and rich Rhodesians as then-ruler Portugal did not a UN embargo against Rhodesia. Still an important port city, few tourists find their way here today. Those who do will discover a beautiful, but crumbling, city by the sea with great food and hospitality.

Rail services are slowly returning to, after having been completely halted due to the long civil war. here are daily commuter trains from nearby Dondo and a once-weekly long-distance service from Moatize, just outside Tete which is the largest city of inland north-western Mozambique. Beira railroad station GPS -19.825578,34.837939, a prime example modernist architecture, tells tales of a bygone perioid when Beira was a major terminus for long-distance trains from then Rhodesia.

By road

The primary street between Zimbabwe and Beira is in good condition, but with some deep pot holes. The Zimbabwe economy relies heavily on this route and it carries many trucks and buses, mostly overloaded. Road travel is best done by daylight as many pedestrians and animals are hard to see after dusk. Minibuses to Chimoio take 3 hours and cost Mtc200. there is direct buses to Vilankulo Mtc550 which takes 7 hours.

How to get around in Beira

Minibuses, so called chapas, are easily available for local transport and for connections to neighboring city's like Chimoio.

What to see in Beira

• Savanna Beach (20–30 km out of town) ask around if someone is going. You could venture and take a chapa heading in the direction. You have to take a little boat across to the beach, worth the effort. Water is cleaner than Beira and waves are better. Good fishing. Simple restaurant with nice atmosphere.
• Gorongosa (200–300 km) in Sofala Province. Once a very well known park. Now starting to recover, good investments. Good challets and food.
• Grande Hotel Beira - On Avenida Mateus Sansao Muthemba, west of downtown - More of an anti-attraction, this former luxury hotel which once was known as the "pride of Africa" is since the last 30 years occupied by thousands of squatters displaced by the nation's long civil war. It serves as a living memory of better times and the horrors of war.

• Rio Maria (10–15 km). When traveling from Macuti to Airport, turn right at Monte Verde and take the sandy road. At Rio Maria is a nice river and sea. No facilities there. Don't get vehicle stuck in mud close to beach. Very relaxing.

Shopping in Beira

Mercado Central (The central market) offers some craftworks, spices, fish and fruits.

Stay Safe

Don't walk in the Baixa area at night alone. If you walk around during day time just keep your precious stuff at the hotel. Don't walk around with a fat wallet or your expensive cellphone. Most crime is on a "give me your phone and/or wallet because I have a big knife" basis. If driving at night just keep doors locked and windows almost closed to avoid issues. Friday, Saturday and Sunday night people party and can get very drunk, if you run over someone as a foreigner it's gonna cause you a big headache so drive slowly. Kids also run across the road often without looking out for cars. Avoid driving at night.

The city was 90% destroyed by Cyclone Idai, in March 2019.
