Travellers planning trips to Mozambique have been warned against going, as escalating protests continue, the Association of Southern African Travel Agents (Asata) said yesterday.

Asata CEO Otto de Vries said most border posts and all airports remained operational and flights run as scheduled, but cautioned travellers.

Asata was actively monitoring developments and the impact of the protests on travel to ensure the safety of all travellers, De Vries said.

"We're particularly concerned about the high risk of protests and demonstrations across Mozambique, especially in major cities like Maputo, where opposition marches are taking place."

Given the unpredictable nature of the current circumstances, travellers should postpone trips until the situation stabilises unless it is essential.
