An unforgettable mix of safari, lakes, and golden beach and waves! - This was a truly unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has chance to go on this tour! Calisto the guide was wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable and adaptable - I learned so much, about the animals and birds and even about the plants that his grandmother still uses medicinally. My day was made when a giraffe walked across the road as we entered the park and everything else was a bonus - such a beautiful setting and to go to the coast and surf the waves was stunning (take your swimming gear!) No lions in this park, it’s a ‘Peace Park’ - although the elephants apparently still remember times when it wasn’t so peaceful… we saw lots of different antelope, wildebeest, wonderful warthogs, hippos, crocodiles, zebra, elephants, more giraffes, beautiful birds and gorgeous water lilies on the lakes. Truly amazing! I will be saving up to stay overnight on one of the camps next time I go and so glad I chose this tour from Maputo over going to Kruger to chase ‘the big five.’ The landscape here was so worth it! This was a solo trip only because it was a quiet time with no other bookings - much more expensive than I’d planned on, but really worth it. Thank you so much Calisto for a prompt pick up from the place I was staying, spotting things I wouldn’t have seen, answering all my questions, your willingness to chill while I was at the beach, a delicious lunch and fantastic music on the way back to the city!

Day visit to Maputo Elephant park - Excellent day out if you like safari’s. Picked up on time from the hotel . The guides name was Calisto. Good driver and lots of information. The vegetation is so different from Kruger. Coastal forests open grassland and areas with reeds and water. Lovely to see Reedbuck on four occasions as well as numerous red duiker. We spotted more wildebeest than impala! Amazing. Then the ocean. Unspoilt and stunning. Very enjoyable day out thanks to Calisto .

Visit Maputo National Park— you won’t be disappointed! - I had a wonderful day exploring Maputo National Park with Maputo Tour Guides! My guide, Edilson, was very communicative about setting up the trip in advance and he was extremely knowledgeable about the park: both its history and where to find the wide variety of animals within. He exhibited a high degree of knowledge about the different animals and had great spotting skills! And was a very nice person to spend the day with— I learned a lot from him about Mozambique and its culture. We saw a whole family of giraffes, elephant mom and baby, countless antelope species, hippos, waterhog (including babies), and crocodiles. A wonderful safari day— highly recommended!!
