Lebombo Ressano Garcia Maputo Corridor 24-Hour Hub

The 496-kilometer border between Mozambique and South Africa is a frontier of immense economic importance and a gateway to some of the region’s most famous natural attractions. It is a line that separates two regional powerhouses and is home to one of the most modern and busy border posts on the African continent.

Your main crossing point will be the Lebombo (South Africa) and Ressano Garcia (Mozambique) border. This is a massive, 24-hour facility that operates as a key part of the Maputo Corridor, a major trade route linking South Africa’s industrial heartland with the port of Maputo. The crossing is modern and efficient but can be subject to long queues, especially during holiday periods.
