    Interesting museum - well worth the trip. Gives a good glimpse of Mozambique as South Africa’s neighbouring country and the influence it had on bringing down apartheid. Being around the debris of the plane makes all the book knowledge very tangible.

    One of the historical places you can visit to understand the politics in Africa, place clean and best tour guides. Road to the monument is adventurous. You need to have cash for a tour, no speed point, no shop monument it’s a a stand alone in an open field.

    A unique museum and monument to this event place of Mozambique and South African history. The roads are very good to the monument/museum. It is remote but worth the trip. There is no food etc at the museum so stock up before you go but plenty of clean toilets.

    First hand information on what transpired on that fateful day. Very sad details which left us emotional. A friendly, knowledgeable tour guide, the museum itself is very clean and well preserved. I wish our people could visit the museum so as to learn about where we come from as a nation, as well as to pay homage to this Martyr...

    Rather utilitarian building that needs maintenance. Interesting displays. I liked the artworks made from the wreckage of the plane on the lower level. The entrance fee is a nominal R10 per person. The site is wonderful with superb views and atmospheric sounds made by cuts in the upright pipes. It is quite a drive to get there, but it is through lovely countryside.

    Interesting place. Very earie...but South Africa has a lot of hero's who have not been honoured... Machel was not South African... However, the 'flutes' outside are impressive. Glad I visited eventually.

    I recall that when this unfortunate and sad incident happened, I was only in my early teenage years and thousands of kilometres away in West Africa from the scene, so coming to physically see the site is quite touching.
