STRAB transfers will only transfer guests between Kosi bay border and STRAB OR Ponta do Ouro and STRAB. Should you wish to be picked up or dropped off anywhere else please submit your request in writing via email to hanalie@strab.co.za.
How the border transfers work:
Make sure to print your border transfers on paper and have them ready before you depart.
After you have parked your car at the car park, make your way to the border. Please ensure to stamp out of South Africa and then into Mozambique. If you have a lot of luggage and equipment you can ask one of the border officials if you can drop your gear and bags inside the border before parking your car.
You can then find ONE OF THE OFFICIAL STRAB TRANSFER VEHICLES on the Mozambican side of the border. Your driver will have a list with your name on.
Please hand ONE TRANSFER VOUCHER to the driver. You will then be transferred to STRAB. Please make sure that you keep your SECOND TRANSFER VOUCHER safe to hand to the driver taking you back to border on the day of departure.
Non-STRAB transfers
Vehicles can be parked at the secure fenced car park on the South African side of the border or at the designated secure parking in Ponta do Ouro. A day rate will be charged by the car park owners for the parking of your car. This is an independent third party service and not part of the transfer.

Your border transfer has to be arranged with Hana Burger. email to hanavdw@gmail.com or whatsapp +27 82 803 1981. (No mobile calls)
Please note: Transfers have to be confirmed in writing. Please have the following information ready:
Number of people, Name and location of destination,
Date and estimated time of arrival departure.
How the border transfers work: After confirmation and payment, you will notify Hana 1 day prior to the transfer pick-up as a final confirmation of scheduled transfer. You will then need to send Hana a whatsapp when you leave Manguzi to go to the border. A transfer vehicle will collect you and your guests at the border. This includes your luggage and equipment. If needed you can arrange with the border officials to drop your luggage before parking your car at the car park on the SA side. The transfer vehicles do not cross the border. You then need to stamp on both sides of the border and make your way to the transfer vehicle that will take you on an epic journey to your accommodation. (Remember to put on sunscreen and take a bottle of water, the border may be busy and Mozambique gets hot)
Additional services: Your transfer person can answer all your questions about the area you will go to. We can also arrange excursions and activities for you (Dolphin trips, discover scuba diving or a picnic at the lake). You can ask your border transfer to stop for an ice cold beer at the first bar and he/she can assist you with obtaining a local SIM card should you need one.
