A trip around Africa - arrival in Maputo after South Africa

[Nicove]

Laurent and I are travelers around Africa with motorbikes. On the 2nd of January 2017, we left Brussels (Belgium) for a few years trip around Africa with two Honda Africa Twin RD07. We travel step by step, a few weeks every year, leaving our motorbikes in a safe place and coming back a few months later.

In January 2017, we travelled from Brussels to Bamako (Mali).
In January 2018, we travelled from Bamako to Lagos (Nigeria).
In January 2019, we travelled from Lagos to Brazzaville (Congo).
In January 2020, we travelled from Brazzaville to Windhoek

Because of the sanitary crisis, we stayed in Belgium and the bikes are still in Windhoek.
We now plan to pick up the bikes in February 2022 , and continue our trip to Mozambique via South Africa. Arrival expected in Maputo in March 2022.

We are looking for a safe place to leave our bikes in Maputo. Do someone knows any storage area, secured and friendly  ?

Is it an option to store in South Africa? Komatipoort is less than 100km from Maputoand personally I would feel more comfortable if my bike was stored in SA….

Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, we need to get out of the SACU area because of customs reasons (the bikes have belgian license plates). We cannot stay more longer in SA...

Makes sense….. I didn’t think of that.

Will ask some of my Moz patients

There's a Facebook group called DriveMoz
Super helpful not only with general queries but also with current safety situations etc. You also get a little sticker from them that generally keep the dodgy cops away from you.
