Getting Here

The information on this page is, as far as we know, correct.  However it’s important that you verify before travelling to Mozambique.  For any information contact us

Diversity Scuba is located on Tofo Beach, 20 minutes' drive from Inhambane City, Inhambane Province, on the south east coast of Mozambique.

To give a rough idea of distance, Tofo is a two-day bus journey, 12 hour drive, or 2 hour flight from Johannesburg in South Africa.

Visas
South African passport holders do not require a visa but may stay for only one month. Other passport holders must have a 30 day tourist visa and your passport must be valid for 6 months after leaving Mozambique.

Visas can be arranged at the border post at Komatipoort (South Africa) (if driving) or at Maputo or Inhambane airports. However we recommend that you obtain a visa at your nearest embassy in advance.

Driving
If you are intending to drive to Tofo, take the EN1 (the main road through Mozambique) and follow it until you get to the junction just south of Maxixe at Lindela. The road is mostly good condition tarmac although some areas are affected by potholes and in need of some maintenance. Once at the junction, follow the road all the way to Inhambane City.

Once through Inhambane, another tarmac road (the EN259) follows the coast all the way to Tofo. All roads are clearly sign-posted. If in difficulty, ask any of the friendly locals and they will direct you to the road to Tofo. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is NOT necessary as the tarmac road runs all the way down to the beach. However, particular caution is advised on the roads connecting the EN1 to Inhambane and Tofo, especially at night.  Beware of uneven road surfaces and animals.

Beware of speed traps when going through villages, where the limit is 60km/h.

Flying
From time to time there are flights direct to Inhambane from Johannesburg.  Check with your travel agent before making arrangements.

The closest international airports are at Maputo, the capital of Mozambique; Beira, in the north of Mozambique; Harare in Zimbabwe; and Johannesburg in South Africa.

There are weekly flights from Maputo international airport to Inhambane airport which is just 20 minutes drive from Tofo Beach. Flight time is approximately 50 minutes. Flights direct from Johannesburg to Inhambane airport are planned some time in the future. Check with your local travel agent for information and bookings.

Buses
There are minibus services available from Johannesburg and Maputo to Tofo.  There are also luxury buses from Johannesburg to Maputo, so you can enjoy a day or so in Maputo if you wish.

Buses run daily to Inhambane from Maputo (starting at around 5.30am) in the south and Beira in the north. The bus from Maputo to Inhambane takes around 7-8 hours. The bus from Beira takes around 12 hours. Local buses and taxis (chappas) run several times a day from Inhambane City down to Tofo. The journey takes around 30-45 minutes.

What to Pack
Generally, casual comfortable clothing is suitable throughout the year for a Mozambique holiday. If you are visiting Mozambique for a beach holiday, pack plenty of light cotton tops and shorts, as well as a hat, sunglasses, beach sandals and a pair of comfortable walking shoes.

If you are planning on taking lots of photographs, be sure to pack extra memory cards and batteries for your camera as these are difficult to find in Mozambique and very expensive if you do manage to get hold of them.
