Quick answer

Local markets sell basic staples, drinks and fresh bread. Bring specialty items, meat and specific dietary products from Maputo.

The practical answer

Santa Maria's small shops and local sellers are useful for everyday basics, but choice and supply are naturally more limited than in the city.

If you are self-catering, plan meals before departure and shop in Maputo for anything essential, refrigerated or difficult to substitute.
