Itinerary

Pass by

The Reserve is 1,040 km² in extent and was originally proclaimed in 1932 to protect a small population of coastal elephants resident in the area. We drive through it and so the likelihood of seeing animals (Elephant, Gnu, Zebra, Antelope, Giraffe, Bison, Buffalo) is high.

420 min

The quaint little town of Ponta D'Ouro is situated in Southern Mozambique just 10 km from the South African border. Here, you will be able to enjoy the local markets, sights and visit the stunning beaches. It depends on the weather. You will also be able to book daily activities such as snorkeling, diving, quad biking etc. at your own discretion.

Perfect Beach Day, with Giraffe sightseeing on the Road

Excellent and friendly driver / guide. Plenty of time to enjoy at Ponta d'Ouro. I recommend this day-trip and particularly this service provider for those who want to relax on a day off away from Maputo.

Great day in Ponto d’Ouro

An absolutely wonderful experience. We were picked up from our hotel and travelled in an air conditioned vehicle to Ponto. Hilton was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. A truly great day to a magnificent beach.

Basically a car rental service with driver

Drove to beach and back. Very basic. No real value added. Tour guide was nice but didn’t do anything besides drive.

Operator response

My sincere apologies. I have spoken to Aylton our Tour Guide/Driver. Apparently you were not aware you were going to the beach and had to go back to the hotel to get a pair of shorts? The details of the tour are explained on Viator. On the way to Ponta D'Ouro you went through the game park and saw some animals ie:- Impala, Worthogs, Zebras etc. There is actually a selection of activities that are offered once you arrive in Ponta besides just going to the beach. Aylton says he offered you to book some of the activities and you declined. You opted to walk around the little town of Ponta instead. Everything we offer on that tour is stated on Viator and my sincere apology to hear that it was not what you expected. We will definitely clarify the tour a bit more so that our clients can be certain of what they will get during the tour.
