Travelling in Mozambique
International and South African driver's licenses are recognised in Mozambique.
Third Party Insurance is compulsory for foreign registered vehicles.
A temporary import permit must also be obtained at the border post, the DA341 is only obtainable at the border.
The vehicle must be equipped with two red emergency triangles, and safety belts must be worn at all times.
Original ownership papers for vehicles are needed to get through the border posts. If your vehicle is still under a lease agreement, get a letter from the bank, giving you permission to take the vehicle across the border. Ensure that your current comprehensive vehicle insurance is valid in Mozambique.
Observe speed limits well within the stated limits since the authorities might use outdated and "uncelebrated" radar and other equipment.

Money
The local currency is called METICALS (mt). This will vary and is directly connected to the international markets. For the best exchange rate is advisable to go to a Mozambique bank when in Mozambique or at Rennies bank Nelspruit. Money can also be exchanged at dealers, but don't expect the same rate as offered by the bank. Locals might also offer to exchange money, but be aware of being short-changed as they are master con-artists and often offer false exchange rates.
