Exploring Mozambique's EN2: A Gateway to Neighboring eSwatini
The N2 (EN2) highway in Mozambique serves as an essential route, linking the capital city of Maputo with the scenic border town of Namaacha, and providing a crucial connection to neighboring eSwatini / Swaziland
Starting Point: Maputo
Maputo, the capital city of Mozambique, serves as the starting point of the EN 2. Known for its vibrant culture, colonial architecture, and bustling markets, Maputo provides a fitting introduction to the country. As we leave the city, the N1 opens up to reveal the heart of southern Mozambique.
Maputo to Matola (13 km / 8 mi)
A short 13-kilometer (8 miles) drive from Maputo lies Matola, Mozambique's second-largest city. Matola plays a pivotal role in the nation's industry and economy, making it an essential stop. The town exudes a suburban charm and provides an excellent opportunity to experience local Mozambican life.
Matola to Boane / N3 Junction (46 km / 29 mi)
Continuing along the N2 for 46 kilometers (29 miles), travelers will reach Boane and the junction with the N3 highway. The N3 leads to essential destinations such as Boane and the Ressano Garcia border post, connecting Mozambique with South Africa. This junction marks a significant turning point for those heading toward different regions of southern Mozambique or into South Africa.
N3 Junction to Namaacha Border Post (to eSwatini) (74 km / 46 mi)
From the N3 junction, continuing for 74 kilometers (46 miles) brings you to Namaacha, a picturesque border town known for its beautiful landscapes and mild climate.

The border post here ensures a swift transition for travelers crossing into this neighboring kingdom.
