Directions to Praia Do Sol

After you have proceeded through the border, you will be travelling on a toll road. 45Km’s down the road you will come to the first toll gate, pay 95 000.00 Mts or about R25.00. Alternate! Shorter, more scenic route for 4x4’s and Bakkies. This route is 50km’s Shorter and you miss out Maputo and all those Police! Just after the toll gate, Turn Right to Moamba; Follow the tar road, Right through the town. The Tar Road ends after about 21km’s, now you have 95km’s of Good Sand Road, a bit Dusty in the Dry, best not to brown noise your buddy! In the Rainy Season it can get Muddy! This will be the only time you might use your 4x4. After the sand roads ends, proceed straight over the railway line to Xinavane, pass through the town and onto the Main EN1, this section of Tar Road is about 25km’s. At the T Junction, Turn Left, to Macia Normal Vehicles. After another 35Kms you come to a set of traffic lights. Turn, LEFT After about 10Kms you will come to another tollgate, Pay 19 000.00Mts (R5.50). After travelling about 3Kms, you will see a sign to Xai-Xai, just before you cross over a large bridge.
