Q: We’re visiting Mozambique for 3 weeks in October, do you have any suggestions regarding trip planning etc?
A: I don’t know if you already have a route planned, but with 3 weeks you have quite a few options available that’ll make your trip very interesting. The border post at Komatipoort is a nightmare to say the least, we advice our clients rather to enter Mozambique through Swaziland, that way you get to see Swaziland (which is a beautiful country) and you’ll have a very pain free border crossing. Below is just a suggestion.
From Swaziland you can travel to Kosi Bay in Northern Natal where you can do the following white touring the area:
- Swim in very nice tropical warm water
- Deep seas fishing
- Horse riding on the beach
- Drive on the beach in 4×4 on a parked route to look for sea turtles

From Kosi Bay you can head North into Mozambique and just keep going along the coast. These are just suggestions, let me know if you need more info or have other plans.
