With a 5 hour drive ahead of us, we
decided to skip the early morning game drive as we packed for our journey into
Mozambique. Within 5 minutes of leaving the camp, we came upon 6 White Rhinos
on the roadside. Our last sighting in Kruger!
Less than an hour to the Border post at
Lebombo/Ressano Garcia. SA exit was very straight forward but we were a little
apprehensive as we approached the Mozambique border post after some of the
stories we had heard. However all went very smoothly and in less than 30 mins
we were on the toll road heading for Maputo.
Leo had warned us about the police and
speed traps on the roadside and by the time we reached the outskirts of Maputo
and followed the directions to our road north, we could spot them quite easily.
There were probably 20 or more along our route so we were glad of his advice to
stick to the limits in the towns. Only
stopped once – at a checkpoint where the lady officer was so impressed – or
perhaps confused – by my bumbling portuguese that she just wished us a pleasant
journey and waved us on.
Reached Praia De Sol by mid
afternoon where the cold beer was waiting for us as promised.
