Zongoene Lodge Co-ordinates E 33˚ 30’51’’ S 25˚ 11’21’’ |

The Lodge is situated in a pristine but remote area of the country and as a result there is no power grid. We therefore have a generator that supplies our power needs. The generators run from approximately 06H00 to midnight, but may also be down from time to time during the day. Please check with management |

Rules of the Road |
|
| This is a basic guideline for tourists and travellers to Mozambique and please understand that the laws and tariffs are subject to change at any time by the Mozambique authorities | |
| :: When entering Moçambique you are required by law to wear a seatbelt at all times. Should you be caught not wearing a seatbelt you will be fined | |
| :: All South African vehicles must have a ZA sticker on them as well as a yellow triangle on a blue background displayed on them | |
| :: All trailers must have reflective tape on the side and back | |
|
::
When
travelling through towns ensure that you adhere to the speed limit. The Moçambique
speed law for travelling in populated
areas is 60 km/h, however if you have a
trailer the law states 50km/h.Radar is the main trapping device used and spot
fines are payable |
|
|
::
Caution
where there is a solid white line on the road
as officials will fine tourists when one or two
wheels, especially on wide
trailers go over the middle line. |
|
| :: According to Mozambique law the traffic officer must specify the traffic violation and quote the relevant article from the road ordinance and indicate the monetary value of the fine | |
|
::
Visitors
to Mozambique are advised to travel on the roads
provided and when travelling in the areas to resorts you are asked to
respect the land dwellers plantations
and home surroundings. Many locals plant
their crops next to the roads.
Four wheelers especially are asked to show respect
for the locals. Do not speed in the areas where
there are locals, as many small children tend to run
into the road when vehicles approach with fright. |
|
|
::
When
stopping for coconuts, you can be charged
for them as many locals own
certain coconut trees and this is their income in that the coconuts are
food and then later taken to factories to be made into oil.Tourists are asked not to give the children sweets on
the side of the road as this encourages begging and possible stealing |
|
|

There is Malaria in Moçambique – so it is recommended that precautions be taken. |
