Mozambique is a country in southern Africa. Outside of major cities, Maputo, it is very hitchiker friendly! Hitching is a common way to get around in Mozambique. Most often along the main North/South thorough-fare from Maputo, you can catch a ride on the back of trucks or bakkies. Some may ask for some money to contribute to petrol or the like, but most are happy for you to hop on the back. Few people speak English, so communication may be minimal. Just beware the wicked sun on the back of trucks for long stretches and hold on during parts of the highway where the roads are not so good.
