I hunted Niassa Province in 2016 with Manuel Carona of Majune Safaris. For Majune we flew into Lichinga and drove east to the concession. There was ISIS stuff going on at that time in the NE part of the Mozambique near Tanzania and along the coast - so it has been happening for awhile. Also, the civil unrest between the differing political parties was a bit heated so to say while we were there.
It seems that now ISIS individuals are moving a bit further west and maybe a bit south. I would go hunt with Manuel or any of the other areas of Niassa this year. The eastern hunting blocks, I would need to get confirmation from the outfitter that this has been resolved. Then I would go.
Update. I just looked up more information on what has been going on in Niassa. Here is a link to Club of Mozambique which has various news stories.

My interpretation is the cyclone from last year hit the area hard, the energy companies continue to invest in the area (locals don't believe any benefit will come to them), and President Chapo just made a recent visit. So, I'm not surprised that the Islamic Terrorists are making incursions further west to find resources and de-stabilize the area.
