  • 5Excelente experience

    A delightful experience. The tour was excellent. From the service provided by the driver, Charles, to the dedication of our guide, Merci, it was a unique experience. We were lucky enough to see four of the Big Five and get a taste of a day in the Park. It's certainly a tour worth repeating in the future.

  • 4Very convenient for a day-trip out of Maputo

    Very convenient for a day-trip out of Maputo, the pickup and border crossing was very smooth. The safari guide could've been more talkative or explain more but overall, it was great

  • 5AMAZING! Don’t miss out!

    We had the best safari experience we have ever had! Charles and Doctor were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Charles made the transport so smooth and comfortable—he was incredibly punctual, thoughtful, and even prepared lovely snacks for us along the way. Doctor is a true legend of the park. His knowledge of the animals, their behaviours, and exactly where to go was unbelievable. He made the whole experience so engaging, fun, and entertaining that the time flew by without us realising. We learned so much and laughed so much—he genuinely made the safari unforgettable (along with the incredible animals, of course!). The food was delicious, the organisation was flawless, and the whole day felt effortless thanks to how well everything was handled. We highly, highly recommend this experience to anyone considering a safari. Don’t hesitate—book it! We hope to be back very soon.

  • 5Safe, excellent service, comfortable, highly recommend

    If you’re looking for a safe, comfortable and reliable tour while in Mozambique book it with Tours Maputo! Their service is excellent from start to finish! They will answer your questions within minutes via emails or WhatsApp, their payment method is safe and they will provide you with detailed informations about your tour and chauffeur. We did a day trip tour from Maputo to the Kruger park and our experience has been amazing thanks to our chauffeur Charles! He was very friendly, spoke very good English and drove safely. The vehicle we used had reclined seats which allowed us to sleep. We were treated to water bottles and a cute little basket with treats that we could take with us during the safari which made our experience even more enjoyable. On top of that, we saw many animals in the park. This has been truly my favorite day of this holiday. I highly recommend Tours Maputo!!! Thanks again to the whole team!!!

  • 5A dream day at Kruger National Park!

    It was an unforgettable experience seeing so many animals up close in their natural environment. Our guide was incredibly motivated and took us to the best spots for amazing wildlife viewing. We also enjoyed a delicious meal at one of the park’s base camp restaurants. The transportation from Mozambique to South Africa was smooth and well-organized, and crossing the border went perfectly with our multiple-entry Mozambican visa. Overall, it was an exceptional and memorable day — I highly recommend this tour!

About Maputo

Maputo is the capital of Mozambique, a seaside city of tree-lined avenues, Portuguese-era buildings, lively markets and fresh prawns.

Maputo sits on a bay of the Indian Ocean in the far south of Mozambique, and until 1976 it was called Lourenço Marques. Its grid of wide avenues is lined with jacaranda and acacia trees and with colonial buildings of the early twentieth century, among them the domed railway station and the City Hall. The old Fortress, a stone fort begun in the eighteenth century, stands near the port, and the Central Market is a large hall of fruit, fish and spices.

Top-ranked sights in Maputo: Feira de Artesanato, Flores e Gastronomica (FEIMA), Maputo Special Reserve (Reserva Especial de Maputo), Maputo Central Market.
