4×4 tracks through the savanna
Head to the reserve along 4x4 tracks that cross wild and authentic landscapes. Birds are prolific throughout the journey — a treat for birdwatching enthusiasts.
Safari in the reserve
In the magnificent Maputo elephant reserve, you may have the chance to spot elephants, hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, and monkeys in their natural habitat.
Wild beach of Ponta Milibangalala
If time allows, extend your trip to the wild beach of Ponta Milibangalala — an invitation to swim in crystal-clear, still-pristine waters.
Night camping under the stars
For adventurers, it is possible to spend the night on-site: the guide sets up a comfortable camp and prepares a delicious meal around the fire, lulled by the sounds of the bush.
Crossing the reserve towards the south
From the elephant reserve, take the tracks towards the southern exit to reach the sublime beach of Punta Mamoli — one of the most preserved coastlines in Mozambique.
The beach of Punta Mamoli
Miles of pristine sand, turquoise waters, and untouched nature. Punta Mamoli is one of the most beautiful beaches in Mozambique, almost deserted and breathtakingly beautiful.
Elephants
The star of the reserve. Herds of African elephants roam freely through the park.
Hippopotamuses
Observe these imposing semi-aquatic mammals in the rivers and lakes of the reserve.
Crocodiles
Nile crocodiles bask on the banks of the waterways running through the reserve.
Antelopes
Various antelope species populate the grasslands and savannas of the reserve.
Monkeys
Vervets and baboons animate the canopy and riverbanks. Always a delightful sight.
