What the numbers say
In 2026, Madagascar has 10 nationwide public holidays and Mozambique has 9, so Madagascar gets 1 more day off. They line up on 3 dates, including New Year's Day, Labour Day and Christmas Day.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Madagascar has 7 on working days (3 fall on a weekend), against 8 for Mozambique (1 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Madagascar offers 5 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Mozambique offers 4 and 4. Mozambique has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is May in Madagascar and September in Mozambique.
