Maputo Special Reserve

It was excellent. If you are short on time but wish to experience a safari, this location is a worthwhile option. It's only an hour from Maputo, and the tour allows approximately three to four hours of wildlife viewing. We saw elephant families, giraffes, buffalo, and impala herds. My children were thrilled, and my husband and I were equally delighted. A 4×4 vehicle is needed. The main road is relatively good, allowing access for smaller SUVs to a certain point. However, exploring more remote areas, such as hippo habitats, may require a 4×4 vehicle. For a quick day trip, I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

It is one the easiest safari park to visit from Maputo, and a good one for beginners like us. Do not purchase the safari package from Maputo advertised in the website, it is super expensive and nothing special (at least in this park for a short visit). If you have a car, just use your own, but it must be a 4×4. It take just one hour from Maputo, but be warned, once you enter the park the drive is 5 miles/hr at best, and extreme bumps. The restaurant/hotel resort is nice to go to have a meal or coffee, where you can enjoy a nice view, but expect a long drive. Plentty of wild animals, likely to meet girafes. Overall, if you are on a business trip and have a day off, it is an acceptable trip to get a flavor. If this is a vacation destination, have more time, and a more complete nature experience, maybe the larger parks, like in SA, is a better choice.

Lovely game reserve situated between Ponta Do Ouro and Maputo

We were pleasantly surprised. Saw a lot of game, and the landscape and scenery changed as you drove through the park, which made it very interesting. Some fairly hectic sections, so 4x4 is a must. We stayed at Ponta Membene, lovely spot.

Wonderful safari experience with kids, including picnic on the shore of the lagoon. Good to see the increase in the variety and number of animals. We could see 🦒, 🐘, 🐊, 🦓, and other animals. I recommend Transportes Mulungo Safari Services as for the quality of vehicles and guides.

Excellent space to game-drive.

Beautiful nature reserve and sanctuary of the African elephant. The park is constantly growing and improving day by day. A 4x4 is needed to move around the park, there are many sand dunes, especially in the northern area. Wildlife and a lot of biodiversity.

Loved the wild camping at the campsites. Pity it wasn't signposted to the campsite but we made a plan. It was such a beautiful experience
