About this tour

Leave Maputo early for a private safari through Maputo National Park, combining careful bird observation with the park’s wider wildlife and landscape.

The route enters the reserve at approximately 8:00, pauses at Lake Xinguti, continues through woodland, wetland and open habitats, and reaches Futi Gate before returning to Maputo around 15:00. Simba can adjust observation time between birds, mammals and photography while keeping the planned route and park schedule.

Maputo National Park supports exceptional birdlife, including several sought-after south-east African species. Sightings depend on season, weather and daily wildlife movement and are never guaranteed.
