Lichinga Hotel by Montebelo

Northern Mozambique


The former Girassol hotel (the company recently rebranded as 'Montebelo'), this place remains Lichinga’s most upmarket option and one of the few places in the province catering to business travellers. Despite being a bit of an oasis in an otherwise isolated town (laptop users hog the lobby for wi-fi), it lacks the pizzazz of Montebelos elsewhere.

Bonuses include a restaurant, a tennis court and one of the city's few bars. Book; it's often full.
