Nampula is an inland city and hot and humid most times. It is the third largest city in Mozambique and you will find all the usual amenities there, including shops, restaurants, banks etc. Portuguese is the most widely spoken language as well as the local Mecua language - learning to speak one/both of these is important for communication in the city, as English is not as widely spoken. However, there is a growing expat community in Nampula, mostly working in the NGO and aid work/humanitarian sectors. The cost of living in the city can be steep, with accommodation in particular likely to take up a huge chunk of your salary. Food can also be expensive, but fresh produce is generally cheaper in the local markets.
We don't yet have a guide for Mozambique, but once you are settled in the country, we would love to hear from you and hear about your own experiences living in Nampula.
Good luck with your move!
