A visit to the Kruger National Park is the best option if you enjoy wildlife and want to see all the big fives. unlike other parks where it's hard to see most of the animals, Kruger has been heaven for us. 100% of our guests have seen all the big five and will normally come back to Maputo happy with what they have seen.
Prices are per person when two book together; a solo traveller pays $450.
Larger groups pay less per person.
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 9.
As our trips often start from Maputo, it's a also possible to see interesting sights in the city.
One of the most known parks in the world with all the big fives and much more to see. This is where we spent most of our time searching for animals and enjoying the wildlife around us. Be ready to count how many of the big five you're going to see

It was a wonderful experience and I only have thanks for our guide Edilson and team. Everyone was very attentive.
Olà :) Nos alegra muito saber que o grupo gostou da primeira viagem a Moçambique e ao parque Nacional do Kruger. Esperamos que seja a primeira de muitas. E que as próximas estejam cheias de boas energias como esta. Obrigado.
We had a great day in Kruger park (one-day trip from Maputo). We saw many animals and learned some facts about them and the park. Both Calisto and Solly were very nice and helpful when passing the border or guiding us through the park and lunch. Clearly a great option for a one-day trip if staying in Maputo!! 😊
Andrea, thank you so much. We are really happy to know that you enjoyed your tour with Calisto.
Friendly and competent guide, comfortable car, for the usual in these cases. Park with few large animals compared to the Xobe.
Joao, Muito obrigado pela avaliacao. Ficamos felizes em saber que gostaram do vosso passeio ao Parque Nacional do Kruger.
We toured the Maputo National Park as time constraints would not allow the border crossing to Kruger. Nevertheless our guide Callisto was excellent and has an expertly keen eye in spotting wildlife during the ride and was knowledgeable in telling us about the varied species of birds and bucks. Driving on the impressive Maputo Katembe. Bridge was a treat with breath taking views.
Chiratina, thank you so much for your review. We are really happy to know tha despite not being able to do the tour you initially wanted to do you still had a great time in the Maput National Park.
Excellent company with great service from pick up to drop off. The border crossing was seamless. Our driver was exceptional!
Leilah, thank you so much for your review. We are really happy to know that you enjoyed your tour to Kruger National Park with Calisto.
The tour was great we learned a lot about the history of Mozambique, our guide Edilson helped us a lot always with patience for the shopping and photos! We did another tour the Krüger which was great. They picked us up at the hotel, all right! Can trust and hire we recommend!
Lívia, muito obrigado pela excelente avaliação. E sempre um prazer para nós mostrar Moçambique para quem nos visita, especialmente quando se trata de visitantes que falam a nossa língua. Ficamos muito felizes também em saber que gostaram do Kruger e conseguiram ver todos os big-five! Obrigado, Equipa do Maputo Tour Guides
It was an amazing experience! It was so beautiful and very calming, we were so stunned that we were so quiet because it was the most amazing experience ever! And all thanks to our guide Calisto, he made our experience even better. He told us things about the animals we did not know, we were very happy with our guide. Thankyou Calisto! Don’t doubt about booking this trip just do it you will not regret it!
Jade, thank you so much for your lovely review. We are really happy to know that you enjoyed your first Safari and we wish you many more to come. Thank you Maputo Tour Guide’s Team
Booked the night before, was just me so got an individual tour. Aylton was great company and I really appreciated all his knowledge. Kruger is a special place and this was a truly memorable day
Rob, thank you so much for your review. It’s a huge honor for us to be the ones guiding you on your first safari Thank you Maputo Tour Guide’s Team
I booked this the night before and at the early morning pick up from my hotel in Maputo I was surprised to find that it was just me and the guide - Aylton. So I was lucky to get an individual experience. Aylton was great company and I really appreciated all his knowledge of the park and of the animals. It's a lot of looking and hoping a requires a lot of patience but in our 6 hours in the park I saw elephants, zebra, hippos, impala, kudu, wildebeest, crocodiles, warthogs, a lizard, a vulture, an eagle, a mongoose but probably the highlight was catching seeing some lions just 10 metres from the road, including a cub. I paid a premium as I was the only person that day but I feel it was well worth it as I might not get the chance to visit again.
Rob, thank you so much for your review. We are really happy to know that you enjoyed your tour with Aylton. It is a pleasure for us to know that we were part of your first safari and all went well Thank you Maputo Tour guides Team
The trip went smoothly, my tour guide was Aylton. I would add 10 starts for this trip if possible. We went around the park and saw so many animals, Aylton was knowledgeable of the area and animals. At least 20 animals were seen and some of them with close distance respecting the rules. It was amaze to see >80 elephants in one section of the park, highly recommended!
Leopoldo, thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are really happy to know that you enjoyed your trip to the park and in fact, >80 elephants is awesome to see Thank you Maputo National Park
