ETRAGO Maputo Nampula recent customer reviews
The bus was overcrowded with luggage and items being transported int eh main cabin. This meant that I had o my half a seat to sit on the the journey, until the cool box was dropped off en route. This was 36 hours in. It was meant to be a luxury booking, but this was not luxury, even by African standards. The bus was scheduled to take 24 hours, but I am currently still on the bus 38 hours later, with 3 to go. Very lucky I didn’t have a flight or similar, just now a very late check in.
