Great bonfire and braai on the beach outside the resort at New Year.
14 day trip - Started a few days before Christmas at Port Edward on the south cost of Kwa-Zulu Natal, then followed the cost north and entered Mozambique at Kosi Bay border post and drove up to Inhambane, with a few days stop over and New Year at Xai-Xai Bay Resort on the way up and then ending at Guinjata Bay Resort.

Exited Mozambique at Komatipoort border post and returned to Durban via Swaziland. Passed through four border posts without an issue or even waiting long. Generally 20 minutes per border post. Furthermore was not hassled by anyone at any of the border posts.

Throughout this round trip 220v electricity, potable water and coms were available without a hitch.
