Border Parking IMPORTANT INFORMATION


If you are renting a vehicle to park at the border, ensure that you park it on the South African side in the locked up area and please check with your car rental company that it is insured to park at the border on the South African side!

For those with your own vehicles and parking them at the border, there is parking on the Mozambique side as well, just check with your vehicle insurance company that it is ok to do so.

More border information


If you require a border transfer, there will be special signage for the wedding party from Coco Rico so just look out for that when having to get your border transfer.

Please can you pay for your border transfer in CASH ONLY.
A reminder that it is R 75 per person, one way and therefore for a return border transfer trip, the cost will total to: R 150 per person

Secondly, if there are any problems (which I'm sure there won't be), or any further questions during your journey, I will activate my international roaming. My South African mobile number is: +27828419865.

Coco Rico's contact details are:
00258 848758029

Gone Fishing



Hi all!

Hoping that your plans for Mozam are coming along swellingly! A reminder that the deadline date is 30 November and for you to email me with the following:

~If you will be attending the wedding
~Your favorite song
~Your shoe size (European/US/UK size)
~Your arrival and departure date to and from Ponta do Ouro, Mozambique (I will make your booking for you at the Coco Rico Resort if you wish to come earlier or stay on later after the wedding weekend - that amount can be paid at Coco Rico on arrival)
~If you require a border transfer to Ponta do Ouro from the Kosi Bay Border(bordering Mozambique and South Africa), please state the date and time that you will require your border transfer to and from Ponta do Ouro. The pick up and drop off times everyday are either- 9:00, 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00 (Border transfer cost is R 75 one way, therefore R 150 there and back - this amount is paid on arrival to the resort)
~ PLEASE DEPOSIT R 394 (per person) into my or Daniel's bank account before 30 November 2011 with your name as a reference. This is for the accommodation cost for Friday 16 March and Saturday 17th March (wedding weekend). We require this money upfront as we have already put down a deposit amount on the accommodation to secure our booking.


For those "early birds" that will be in Mozambique a few days before the wedding and who want to be crowned as "sole" food providers for the rest of their stay in Ponta do Ouro, we are looking for eager fisherman (experienced or inexperienced) to accompany a relative of the Le Roux clan (Mr Mike Rodgers himself!) out on a fishing boat prior to Friday evening.

The objective: To catch as many yummy fish as possible in order to fill all our starving tummies at Friday nights dinner (16 March).

Mike and dad (Neil) will then braai all the fish, and the restaurant will kindly provide us with salads and wedges to accompany the main meal.

Let me know if anyone is game and if you require fishing equipment or if you are "well equipped" already ;)

Dan and Jean
