SA / Mozambique border into Ponta Malongane

The area immediately over the border (+- 1 Km) can get extremely waterlogged & muddy, especially in the summer rainfall months. It is therefore advisable to only traverse this area with a 4 X 4 vehicle. During these wet months it is strongly recommended that your vehicle & trailer tyres are appropriately deflated.

In order to reach Ponta Malongane, you can take either of 2 routes:

To Malongane via Ponta do Ouro (9 Km to Ponta do Ouro & 7 Km from Ponta do Ouro to Ponta Malongane)

To Malongane via the airport (16 Km)
