Rules in force · 11Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Across the subregion, plan every road leg to arrive befor…Traffic drives on the left
  • 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.
  • Eswatini ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Eswatini government sources before booking.
  • Eswatini ↗Taking a South African rental car into Eswatini needs a cross-border letter from the rental company.
  • Eswatini ↗Eswatini is a monarchy: be respectful when discussing the king and royal family.
  • Ezulwini Valley ↗Avoid driving after dark: animals, pedestrians and unlit vehicles are common on rural roads.
  • Mbabane ↗Traffic drives on the left. Avoid driving after dark outside town: animals, pedestrians and unlit vehicles are common on rural roads.
  • Mbabane ↗The lilangeni (SZL) is pegged one-to-one to the South African rand, and rand notes are usually accepted; do not expect to spend lilangeni in South Africa.
  • Mbabane ↗Shared minibus taxis serve the main routes, but private cars are easier for visitors: ask your hotel for a driver and agree the fare before you get in.
