Maputo Special Reserve Tour

At 6:00 am we'll leave the Mozambican capital when we set off from 417 Kwame Nkrumah Avenue.

Onboard a 4x4 we'll drive through Catembe and other towns in the south of Mozambique. After a two-hour drive, we'll arrive at Puerta Futi: the main entrance to the Maputo Special Reserve (the entrance fee of 15 US dollars per person is not included).

Once we enter this protected natural area (77,400 hectares), our safari will begin. We'll get the chance to admire a variety of native African animals: elephants, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, impalas, among others. This ecosystem is also home to various birds that we'll see on the tour.

The first part of the tour will end with a light lunch. We'll enjoy a picnic next to Lake Munde, observing the different kinds of birds that fly over this lagoon.

After lunch, our safari will continue towards Lake Xinguti. We'll make a quick stop on its shores to have coffee and see hippos and wading birds that come to drink water.

At the end of the day, we'll return to the starting point in Maputo, arriving by around 2:30 pm. To make the return journey more enjoyable, we'll hold a quiz on African wildlife onboard the truck.
