Rules in force · 11Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Across the subregion, plan every road leg to arrive befor…Chapas (shared minibuses) are crowded and not for suitcases
  • Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
  • Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
  • Southern Africa ↗A rental car may leave its home country only with the rental company's cross-border letter, the registration papers and paid road taxes at each post; driving into Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique or Angola without them ends at the border.
  • Southern Africa ↗Across the subregion, plan every road leg to arrive before sunset: livestock, wildlife, pedestrians and unlit trucks make night driving the main cause of serious visitor accidents.
  • Mozambique ↗Many Western passports are visa-exempt for 30 days but still need an approved travel authorisation from the official evisa.gov.mz portal before departure; it cannot be bought on arrival.
  • Mozambique ↗Carry your passport or a certified copy at all times; police document checks are common.
  • Mozambique ↗Governments advise against travel to parts of Cabo Delgado province in the north; check your own government's advice for the exact areas.
  • Maputo and the Deep South ↗Do not drive between Maputo and the southern beaches after dark; potholes, animals and unlit vehicles make night driving the main road risk.
  • Maputo ↗Chapas (shared minibuses) are crowded and not for suitcases: use a taxi or a pre-booked car whenever you carry luggage.
  • Maputo ↗After dark, ride between hotel and dinner even for a few blocks; keep phones and cameras out of sight in the street.
  • Maputo ↗Do not photograph police, soldiers, government buildings, the port or the airport.
