Great - Awesome tour, Edison was great. The national park was cool, saw a lot of giraffes and zebras, one hippo, no luck for elephants. I requested that we go for lunch at millibangalala resort and they were very willing to accommodate and very responsive to communicate with before the trip . I’d definitely recommend asking for this stop as the resort and beach are really beautiful. The tour also provides a nice picnic lunch. Overall a great experience.

Amazing trip just outside of Maputo - Edison did a great job of making sure that we saw all the animals. He knew exactly where to go and was a very safe driver. The park is a must see with elephants, giraffes, hippos, monkeys, and we even saw a huge snake. Definitely worth a visit with a knowledgeable tour guide.
