Nearly all access to Inhaca Island takes place via Maputo by ferry, chartered boat and aeroplane. The only other route used on a regular basis is to drive to Santa Maria where the Island is only a small hop across the channel. The drive is however a 4×4 route.
To get to Maputo you will have to fly or drive your own vehicle. The Kamatipoort Border is the best from the West (Johannesburg side) and Kosi Bay from the South (KZN side). The drive time from each border to Maputo is approx 2hrs, with the road from KZN being new and easy to drive.
