Getting TO/AROUND: I found the taxi's to be a bit expensive.
The Holiday Inn is on the beach so we had no idea how far the shops and mall was. We took the taxi once and then decided to walk most of the time. It is necessary exercise after the Holiday Inn breakfast.

If I took the taxi back to the hotel I wouldn't have seen this opportunity for a photo of the Holiday Inn from a little hill.

Getting TO/AROUND: SAA as well as LAM (mozambique's airline) fly from South Africa to Maputo. There are flights daily.

SAA was fully booked so we had to experience LAM. The flight to Maputo was in a little prop number. I don't think it took more than 20 passengers. It was a different experience for the kids. They are only used to the big aircrafts of SAA. It's less than an hour's flight from JHB. Drinks and snacks were served and the service was fine.

Coming back it was a 737 operated by LAM.

LAM also have internal flights to places like Beira, Inhaca etc.

The picture was taken from the aircraft coming in to land in Maputo.

Inside the airport doesn't really resembles a international airport. Officials are a bit slow and not the friendliest. This is Africa.

Bear with them they are in charge here. If you are difficult they will find something wrong and nobody wants to spend hours on the airport.
