Highly recommend this tour provider

Everything they promised I would see I did and more! I initially booked just one city tour with Benny Matimbe but ended up booking a day trip to Eswatini also when another company cancelled on me at the last minute. My pick ups were on time and the drivers/guide went above and beyond to ensure I had a good tour. The roads to Eswatini in some areas are not the best but the driver navigated them like a pro. I would definitely book again and definitely recommend them especially as a solo female traveler.

Great company to tour with

Company was very communicative and super flexible and accommodating. They changed our timing (after asking us) to adjust for local weather to improve our experience. Zito was a great driver/guide and acted as a friend as well. Safety was primary. We did everything we hoped and more. Refreshments provided were a nice surprise. I would highly recommend this group to anyone visiting Maputo.
