Traveller looking out over the Mozambique coast

Our story

Travelling with Joe feels like travelling with a friend

Joe, founder of Joe Travels & Tours

Meet Joe

It started with one van and a lot of local know-how

Joe grew up moving between Mbombela and Mozambique — he knows the border posts, the beach lodges, the shortcuts and the seasons. What began as helping friends get to the coast turned into a proper travel business built on trust.

Today Joe Travels & Tours runs two things side by side: memorable Mozambique getaways, and dependable transport across the region. The same person who plans your beach escape is the one making sure your 5am airport run leaves on time.

Our mission

To make cross-border travel between South Africa and Mozambique safe, simple and genuinely enjoyable — for holidaymakers and commuters alike.
