Traveling in Mozambique

International and South African driver's licenses are recognised in Mozambique. Avoid traveling at night. If you have to drive by night, drive slowly as some vehicle have no lights or reflectors. Broken down vehicles are left on the road and are sometimes indicated by tree branches left in the road. Hooting is acceptable in Mozambique, so use it to warn pedestrians you are approaching. Watch out for children running across the road without looking for oncoming traffic. Traffic police will probably stop you on occasions to check vehicles and "papeis" (papers). The following will be needed: Driver's licence, import permit (DA341), "serguro" (third party insurance) and passports. When towing a trailer a blue and yellow triangle needs to be fixed to the front of the towing vehicle and the back of the trailer (or towed vehicle). "Seguro" Third Party Insurance is compulsory for foreign registered vehicles. A temporary import permit must also be obtained at the border post, the DA341 is only obtainable at the border.The vehicle must be equipped with two red emergency triangles, and safety belts must be worn at all times. Ownership papers for vehicles are needed to get through the border posts. If your vehicle is still under a lease agreement, get a letter from the bank, giving you permission to take the vehicle across the border. Ensure that your current comprehensive vehicle insurance is valid in Mozambique. Observe speed limits well within the stated limits. Seat belts are mandatory and you must carry an emergency triangle. Fuel stations are plentiful in built up areas and along the main roads, however when you travel on secondary roads, it is wise to ensure that you have sufficient fuel to reach your destination. The accessibility by road of various provincial towns is dependent on seasonal weather conditions, so get as much information as possible on the routes you plan to use before departure.

Accommodation

• Camping is only allowed in authorised areas.
• Access to beaches must be on existing roads with a permit.
• It is illegal to drive on the beach unless launching a boat with a permit.
