Visas

South African passport holders do not require a visa. Other passport holders must have a 30 day tourist visa and your passport must be valid for 6 months after leaving Mozambique.

Visas can be arranged at the border post at Komatipoort (South Africa) (if driving) or at Maputo or Inhambane airports. However we recommend that you obtain a visa at your nearest embassy in advance. The visa's are now currently approx $70

Driving

If you are intending to drive to Tofo, take the EN1 (the main road through Mozambique) and follow it until you get to the junction just south of Maxixe at Lindela. The road is now in very good condition. Once at the junction, follow the road all the way to Inhambane City.

Once through Inhambane, another tarmac road (the EN259) follows the coast all the way to Tofo. All roads are clearly sign-posted. If in difficulty, ask any of the friendly locals and they will direct you to the road to Tofo. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is NOT necessary as the tarmac road runs all the way down to the beach. However, particular caution is advised on the roads connecting the EN1 to Inhambane and Tofo, especially at night, due to bad lighting and some tricky bends!
