Travelling from Jhb to Tofu Beach (Inhambane)

[sweeper]

When we went it took 23 hours in one go, border was so backed up BAD so we went to swaziland then moz(6am). Caught maputo on a friday afternoon. It was a long drive, great fun though. Pick your times right it will be quicker.

Return 16 hours, stopped to make tea on the bypass rd

We came back from Legogo on Sunday. Left at 5.30am, home in Johannesburg 8.15pm with about an hour total for both borders. Normally stay over at Blue Anchor on the way up so we are through any border hassles and then it's a 5/6 hour drive the next day. Use the Maputo bypass in both directions.

Hi Quattro

Left Tofo at 5.30 this morning, just finished lunch at Miramar, Maputo. Took the new highway straight from Marracuene to Costa do Sol. ...total breeze

Hi Leon,
If you are coming in from Komatipoort then just as you cross the Matola river you turn left onto dirt, do a couple of km's on this dirt through some houses, hopefully see a BAI (Blue Anchor Inn) sign and then lead onto some very nice tar double highway. Near then end you go onto some dirt again, come out where a new bridge/flyover is being constructed and then pick up tar again for the EN1

Thanks Quattro,about where do you come out at the EN1 how many kilos after Maputo

Join the "DriveMoz" group on Facebook, and download the map/GPS track from their page...

There's 1 or 2 funny turns in that ringroad that will get you lost if you're not 100% sure/aware of them...

Good Day Guys

I need some advise, we would like to travel to Tofo Beach from PTA during 03/01/2025 to 11/01/2025.
I see that the Komatipoort Border is open 24hour during that time but the trip is still +- 13 hours. Will it be possible to do in a day without it getting dark in the end ?

I saw this thread but I think it is outdated seeing it is from 2015 and a lot has changed since then.

[Nightjar]

No, you will not make that trip in daylight hours.
Do not drive in Moz in the dark.

Komatipoort border Moz side has been burned down in riots recently, not sure if provisional facilities are as efficient as before.

Reinhardt ja jy sal dit kan ry in n dag ek het dit al n paar keer gedoen. Maar dan moet jy kyk om al 5 uur die oggend deur Komatipoort grens te gaan want dit is n lang pad op soontoe. En onthou dit word vroeg daglig en eers omtrent 7 uur donker. Waar jy baie tyd vat is van gens tot net buite Xai - Xai

Dankie Leon, ek het besluit om liewer in Xai-Xai oor te slaap en dan weer verder te ry die volgende dag. Kan darem die area ook sommer so bietjie verken.
