What to know

  • Zimbabwe publishes no hours and we found no current figure for either side, so plan to cross in daylight. The Zimbabwe Tourism Authority lists this post under the Mozambican name, Espungabera.
  • A small post on the edge of the Chirinda Forest south of Chipinge, with immigration and customs on the Zimbabwean side. People on both sides of the line speak chiNdau.
  • Espungabera, 4 km on, has three fuel stations but supplies run out, so fill up in Chipinge.
  • Carry US dollar cash. Border charges in Zimbabwe are quoted in US dollars; the ZiG has been the local currency since 8 April 2024, and paying in foreign currency stays legal until the end of 2030.

Bring with you

  • Your passport
  • The vehicle's registration papers
  • For a hired car, the rental company's letter of authority to take it across
  • Whatever Mozambique asks of your passport: visa, fees and the papers it wants to see

Check the entry rules for Mozambique before you go.
