3-Day Guided Tour: Maputo Special Reserve

We made a 4 day trip starting from Maputo and did stay in Membene (separate booking). Our guide and driver Simão did a perfect job, he has a great knowledge of Maputo National Park and its fauna and was always able to find animals in beautiful and remote spots, away from the other cars, with a lot of time to enjoy the view and take pictures. He has a very good knowledge of the fauna, respects the animals and explained us many interesting facts about the species we saw. The car (toyota landcruiser) was in good condition and comfortable, we were always on time and Simão drives very well on the tracks.

We felt completely looked after with everything covered from the pick-up at our hotel to the drop-off at our next destination. The staff had an exceptional knowledge of the Reserve, and made sure our camping experience was extremely positive (with campsite set up, cooking and support with amenities). In addition to several trips around the Reserve to spot the wide variety of wildlife, itinerary also allowed for free time on the beach, a short walk from the campsite. Highly recommended.

We visited Maputo Special Reserve and stayed at Anvil Bay Lodge, which was a great experience. You drive through the safari-park for approximately three hours looking for animals and seeing the fantastic nature. Then you arive at Anvil Bay, a small collection of houses nestled in the forest at the beach. A truly beuatiful place! Throughout our trip the guides where enthusiastic and personal and seemed genuinely interested in us having the best vacation possible.
