The Maputo Special Reserve continues to grow into an exciting animal reserve in one of the most unique of locations - right alongside the ocean. Our tour includes a chance to see a range of different animals and if the client would like we make it to this amazingly virgin coastline. Due to the tough terrain in the park it can still be difficult to experience this unique reserve - our economical safari will help more visitors breathe this unique bush and beach air.

This national park has a very beautiful nature and animals to see. I enjoyed also visiting the ocean at the end of the trip. Be prepared for a long game driving inside the park . The driver was very and did his best to let me enjoy the trip .

The Maputo national park is beautiful. The scenery is amazing. However, do not book the trip with this tour operator! We did book a guided tour to know more about the park and it’s flora and fauna. Prior to the trip we were warned that there would be less animals than the Kruger park. We were okay with that as we wanted specifically to go to this park. Unfortunately, we got a ‘guide’ that was experienced in tours in the Kruger park. He was very friendly but knew nothing about the park or the way around. It seemed that it was his first time in the park. He couldn’t tell us anything about the animals or the park. We brought our own lunch as we were told. We wanted to have it at the beach. However, we were dropped at a restaurant instead as the driver didn’t know the way to the beach. We had a bit of disappointing day. The park is amazing. But the tour operator shouldn’t send unexperienced guides. In total, we paid $350 to get only a driver and not a guide (without counting the third person on the tour). It really feels like a scam.

Maputo National Park is not what I expected but it was a fantastic day. Swimming in the ocean halfway through a game drive was really an incredible experience. Maputo City Tours were very professional, everything ran like clockwork which was impressive considering that the park is very underdeveloped. Some of the sand was very deep and our guide drive very well. The disappointing part was that the park does not have many animals but our guide worked so hard to make sure we did finally see elephants.

We saw many animals, also unknown to us. Ofiço was very friendly, gave a lot of interesting information and drove well and safely. Lunch at the restaurant of Montebelo was excellent.

It was a smooth and well planned tour. The ride, the journey, and the whole experience was comfortable, relaxing and had a great time. Oficio was an excellent guide throughout the time!

Maputo City Tours duly warned us that Maputo National Park isnt like Kruger. Less animals, but more natural and more beach. Really lovely day and real aventure. Highly recomended.

The park is beautiful, right on the beach. The roads are poor so don't expect a smooth ride. Maputo City Tours gave a lovely tour, a real adventure
