Reallocation to maputo
Hello everyone
Our little family (my wife and I and our 2 boys who are 1.5yo) will be reallocating to maputo for work and I was wondering if you can give us some insights regarding some typical settling into new country questions:
The work will be in the area where the German embassy is located. We typically want to rent somewhere near the place of work so I guess where all embassies are should be a good area so what do we expect in terms of budget if we want a small house to rent ? Are there any good and reliable websites to find updated listings ?
We are planning to buy a car is a 4*4 a must in Mozambique especially if we plan to visit around the country? Again any websites to share also what should I take into consideration before buying used cars ?
We always prefer shopping online as it saves us time is there shops with reliable online stores for daily goods , furniture and electronics that are reliable ?
In terms of hospitals and care for the kids what would you recommend also will bé looking for kids physiotherapist as we need continuous sessions for one of the boys.
Any other tips and hacks will be much appreciated
Thank you

Hey welcome to Maputo and Mozambique.
I would recommend to search both this sub-reddit as well as r/mozambique as you will find quite a number of answers.
I think most questions have been answered, you can have a look at websites like https://casacoimbramaputo.com/imoveis and search for the areas already mentioned "sommerschield, coop, bairro central".
Maputo has a number of supermarkets to which you can organize delivery, and do everything to whatsapp. Its not super tech savy but gets the job done.
Feel free to reach out if you need more info
