Maputo National Park

Where Savannah Meets the Sea

Maputo National Park (formerly the Elephant Reserve) is one of Mozambique's most extraordinary conservation success stories. It is one of the rare places on earth where traditional African savannahs and dense sand forests merge directly with the pristine marine ecosystems of the Indian Ocean. Track elephants in the morning and dine on the coastal dunes in the afternoon.

All expeditions depart Maputo at dawn, crossing the iconic Katembe Bridge as the urban landscape gives way to the wild. With Mabeco Tours' private Land Cruiser 4x4 and professional driver-guide, you access game corridors and remote coastal viewpoints that shared safari buses simply cannot reach.

Choose from three expedition formats — a high-impact day trip, an overnight immersion beneath the stars, or a full 72-hour deep dive into the park's most remote interiors. All rates are all-inclusive of transport, park fees, guide, and specified meals.

• ★Track wild elephants and giraffes through the Futi Corridor at dawn
