The dating scene in Maputo

Maputo is Mozambique's capital, a relaxed coastal city of wide jacaranda-lined avenues, colonial and modernist architecture and a lively arts and music scene. Life has a laid-back Indian Ocean rhythm, mixing Mozambican, Portuguese and wider southern African influences. Dating often happens over seafood, drinks by the bay and live marrabenta or jazz. People are friendly and courteous, and an effort to speak Portuguese is appreciated.
