Mozambique

Hi All,

I'm planning to drive from Maputo to the Mozambique/Zambia border in a few weeks. I've got a sturdy 2WD and so need to find a route up there that is do-able without a 4x4.

Can anyone recommend a suitable route? I'm particularly keen to hear whether the road from Tete to Cassacatiza is ok for a 2WD, as this is the only bit on the map that looks llike it might be a bit dodgy!

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Im planning travelling through mozi in the next 2 weeks or so. am i crazy.
i know a lot of south africans go to mozambique this time of year. am i going
to find acc. i have a tent in case but have been told camp sites are fully booked weeks
or even months in advanced.

looked online for backpackers and hostels and they seem pretty full. the one mozi
accomodation website stated i was the 16000th visitor for the day.

any suggestions

Hi there. I am planning to go to Mozambique next month. Does anybody know if is possible to fly between Pemba or other places in Mozambique and Comoros islands.
Thanks Yorgo

I would like to go diving at the Atoll Bassas da India; however they are all private charters or so I am told. If anyone has chartered a boat for such a trip and has space for 1; I would love the opportunity to join. I am not too restricted by dates but am looking for after 2nd January.

I am based out of South Africa KZN.

Cheers, Elle

My partner and I will be in the North of Mozambique in early December. We want to go to the Quirimbas Archipelago islands, is it possible to do this on a budget? We were wanting to spend about $50 each on accommodation per night, is this even possible? The resorts seem very expensive and I can't seem to find any cheaper accommodation online. Also, what are the must-do and see things while we're there?

Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated!

Dear Travellers,
I'm back from a long trip through Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique and Swaziland by public means of transport, and since I owe you a lot of tips, now I can pay them back with a report, tips, pics, maps.... for those who wants to travel independentely without being isolated in their own vehicle.

In Mozambique I took the famous train Cuamba- Nampula, then Ilha De Mozambique and then Beira, Inhambane up to Maputo.

Hi everybody interested in Moz.
I’ve have been travelling during 3 weeks along the country. Nice and friendly people everywhere. I’m in Vilankulos right now. I’ll write a more extensive post when I back home. Just I’d like to point on something.
Yesterday I went into Magaruque Island (Bazaruto NP) for some snorkeling, sunbathing, sailing … and it was great. I used Dolphin Dhow Safaris which I strongly recommend. My post is a little bit special ‘cause there is a bad report from Sophie in TTF. I’m…

Realistically, how long does it take to drive from the border to tofo/ inhambane in a normal 4x4 vehicle?
I've heard so many differing accounts.
Also,
Is Xai Xai a viable overnight stop on the way or is there anything closer to maputo that is still scenic?

Thanks.

Trying to find out how to get from maputo to puento doro by any means are there any buses

any tips on how to them move onto stlucia is it possible to get transport from the border.

any help or any suggestions greatly appreciated
