  "connection_tips": "Moc\u00edmboa da Praia Airport (MZB) has to be planned around current security and access realities in Cabo Delgado rather than around a generic regional-airport model. This is not a place where casual walk-up transport or a last-minute change of plan should be assumed possible. Carry identification and any permits needed for checkpoints, and avoid building a same-day chain that assumes everything will run like a routine domestic trip.\n\nEven when the airfield is operational, the meaningful traffic is often tied to government, humanitarian, industrial, or specially arranged movements, and any onward ground transport should be treated as part of the same controlled operation. The road connection toward Pemba or other points in Cabo Delgado is a separate security question, not just a map distance. MZB can be operationally important, but the safe and realistic connection strategy is one built on verified local arrangements rather than on public-airport expectations.\n\nIf you are traveling to or through Moc\u00edmboa da Praia for authorized work, the correct approach is to confirm the airport status directly with the operator or host organization and to have the receiving side responsible for the ground transfer before you depart. If the itinerary includes onward surface travel, keep it conservative, daylight-based where required by local guidance, and coordinated through the host rather than improvised after landing.",
