Border Mozambique: make it hassle free
Passing the border does not have to be a hassle if you prepare yourself well for it. South African residents do not need a visa, overseas tourists do need one. They can get a visa at the border (also at the airport in Inhambane) but it is advisable to get it beforehand at the Mozambican embassy.
Fuel:
Diesel and petrol is generally available in most of the bigger towns, but make sure to fill up in Maputo and Xai-Xai. The nearest filling station to the resort is in Inhambane town, 24 km north. 

The resort is situated in a malaria low risk area. The accommodation is situated near to the beach, experiencing a light breeze from the ocean most of the time, and the fact that there are no swamps nearby, the occurrence of malaria cases is very low. However, minor precautions are advised. The use of mosquito repellents and nets are recommended throughout the year.
We have a spray program for the buildings which is based on the guidelines of the National Department of Health. All the accommodation units have mosquito nets.
We would advise you to consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure of the precautions you need to take.  

The resort being situated in a quiet and tranquil environment with a population of friendly people in the neighbouring area enables us to offer you a safe holiday. Our crime rate is almost nonexistent. Our units are equipped with alarm systems and small safes to ensure the safety of your valuables like money, cameras, cell phones and jewelry. Guards bearing two-way radios are present 24 hours.

Safe drinking water:
The tap water of the resort is safe to drink, and it comes from our own borehole. It is advisable to take bottle water with you during your trip here.

Safety on the road:
The road via Nelspruit and Maputo is a good and safe road to travel. Improvements to the road surface are constantly in process.
Except for the last 18 km being dirt road, the whole route is tarred road. Always wear safety belts and do not exceed the speed limits of 100km/h on the open road, and 60 km/h in built-up areas. Speed traps are present especially in the cities and small towns. Traffic Police normally don’t hassle tourists, but will stop and fine you if traffic regulations are ignored. Keep vehicle papers and drivers license at hand for inspection.

Sharks, safe swimming:
It is safe to swim. There have been no (known) shark attacks since resorts are based in the area. Local fisherman have been fishing and spear fishing here for many years from small rowing boats and truck inner tubes with their legs in the water and no injuries or deaths from shark attacks have occurred. 

It is possible to pay with Rands, Dollars and Euros but it’s advisable to change money to the local currency (Meticais) for petrol and the daily general purchases, as filling stations and shops don’t offer a good exchange rate. Money can be changed at the banks in the bigger towns like Xai-Xai or Inhambane.

ATM’s are also available, but make sure that your card is compatible to the international banking systems. Visa and Master card in general seems to work well here. At the resort we offer the possibility to exchange small amounts of money against the daily exchange rate.
Be careful with changing money at the border, often people lose a lot of money due to “smart” exchange tricks. If you would like to change money at the border, your border assistant will arrange for a reliable person to deal with.  

Just 500 meters from the resort is situated a basic supermarket and bakery where you can buy the basic essential toiletries, foodstuffs, liquor, cold drinks, meat etc.
In the town of Inhambane (24km north), are many small Indian shops and a central market offering clothing, curios and a wide variety of vegetables and fruit.
We advise you to bring from South Africa things like meat (vacuum packed), Cheese, snacks, sweets etc. as just the basic foodstuffs are available here, nothing fancy.  

4X4 vehicles can comfortably reach our resort. Other vehicles with rear “diff-lock” configuration and well deflated tyres, can also reach us. Safe parking for smaller 2-wheel drive bakkies and passenger cars, are available within 1.5 kilometers from our resort. In these cases, we offer free assistance to our guests for the transportation of camping gear, luggage etc. to the resort.
