Maputo Special Reserve

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.

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.

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

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.

Wow wow wow! We had a magical stay at the reserve! We were even blessed to see Elephants and Giraffe as we drove into the park. We saw jackal, zebra, warthog, wildebeest,many types of buck and various types of birds! We camped 3 blissful nights at Xinguti camp alongside the lake. It has the most serene bush feeling and at night you can hear the hippos chatting to one another. The hot showers are awesome and are also set into the trees which is extremely relaxing. The kitchen is a pleasure to use too! We also camped at Membene for 5 Nights which has the same awesome shower and kitchen facilities. Unfortunately we had rain here but the bathroom facilities were a great help to see the day out! We enjoyed exploring/ swimming at the beach and Running to Ponta Millibangala (about 4km). Staff were very friendly and helpful but not always able to explain things in English. We will definitely be back!

Stunning view, only found a few animals with all the rain but had a great experience. Road a bit rough, you will need a 4x4.

If you're looking for a wild and unspoilt reserve, this is it. Vast open spaces with plains, forests, wetlands and lakes as well as deep sandy roads that are definitely 4x4 only... and remember to let air out your tyres!! Not huge amounts of game yet as restocking is still in process, but we saw zebra, a herd of elephants numerous antelope (lots of red duiker in the forests) and plenty nyala at Anvil Bay Chemucane - the quintessential barefoot luxury beach & bush experience.

Great reserve, it's wild but the roads are in really well conditions also for an easy offroad and indications are vert clear. Amazing place
