Trains also run from Maputo to Goba and Ressano Garcia, and northwards on the line to Zimbabwe. Most trains have three classes, but there are few sleepers and no dining or air-conditioned cars. For seats and sleepers it is necessary to book in advance. All train services are subject to disruption. Tarred roads connect Maputo with Beira and Beira with Tete.
