Tania - OverlandingAfrica.com06 Apr 2010: Hi Graham, The border post is called Manhoca and is just between Kosi Bay and Ponta do Ouro. The only public transport likely to exist is with local minivan taxis possibly heading into Ponta do Ouro. However you don't get much more off the beaten track than that so I recommend you contact the accommodation you will stay at in Kosi Bay and get a straight answer from a 'on the ground' person. Have fun!
Graham Cameron05 Apr 2010: I am desperately trying to find out information regarding travel to Kosi Bay (the border post) but am struggling! I was wondering if it is possible to get there without the use of a car, on my own, and at a reasonable budget. I'm coming from Johannesburg and i know that buses don't operate between the two... Thanks for your help Graham
