Left Maputo crossing the Maputo-Katembe bridge, we continued south towards Ponta do Ouro. About 80 km south of Maputo it is clearly indicated that the road enters the Maputo Special Reserve and about 500m later there is a small unpaved road on the left leading to the Futi Gate. Here, after paying the entrance, you can access the reserve with your car but only if you have a 4WD. The tracks are narrow but not particularly demanding even if in some places the presence of sand justifies the need for 4WD. The cars in the park were very few and we hardly met other tourists. Proceeding in the park you meet different environments ranging from dense forest, grasslands, wetlands and small lakes. In the dense forest we saw small antelopes, such as red forest duiker (Cephalophus natalensis) and suni (Nesotragus moschatus) very difficult to photograph and some elephants. Reaching the vast areas of grasslands, we saw countless impalas, as well as a few dozen of blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) and Burchell's zebra (Equus quagga). In the wetlands we met an impressive herd of elephants, many of them young specimens, which slowly approached us to cross the road and disappear into the forest. Proceeding further along the extensive wetlands we encountered small groups and solitary specimens of elephants, waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) e common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus). The fact that some of the animals moved away when we were still some distance away made us suspect that poaching is still a problem in this reserve, in which there are still villages. However, the fauna is rich and, the numerous young specimens, tell us in good health and on the increase and therefore we must certainly praise this work of recovery of the environment and reintroduction of animals. In Lagoa Chingute we found hippos, but we couldn't see crocodiles due to the thick reeds on the shore of this small lake. Finally, we saw several giraffes not far from the gate, while there were numerous birds that we were able to observe during the visit. We spent a pleasant day in the park during which we saw and photographed many animals. What the park is missing is predators with a dramatically failed first attempt to reintroduce the cheetah. However, this can be an interesting visit for those who are in Maputo and want to dedicate a day to nature.

This visit was one of the best on our trip. I love seeing animals in their habitat and out of danger. Fortunately we were able to see almost all the animals except the hippos. Wonderful place to visit with family. Our guides were expert level! I loved this place.

Wir haben die Strecke bis nach Santa Maria und zurück Gemacht, viel haben wir nicht gesehen, ein paar Zebra, Springböcke und auf dem Rückweg eine Giraffe. Nicht das, was man in einem andern Park zu sehen bekommt. Die Fahrt auf dem Sand war aber Erlebnisreich und diese habe ich genossen; ist aber nicht für jedermann.

Hi, it is true from other reviews it is great to have a reserve so close to Maputo and it deserves our support. But is a question of luck whether you see many animals. (We were on the unlucky side)
Don't book expensive tours! A 4x4 car and driver is enough.
Entry was 900 Mtn pp for foreigners, 600 Mtn for standard car and 400 Mtn for Mozambicans.

We saw elephants, all kinds of ungulates, giraffes, warthogs, zebras and water buffalo, all from our car. It was wonderful. Drivers beware tho: The sandy tracks are treacherous and it is easy to get stuck. Be sure to get advice at the gate on what tracks to use.

The reserve is vast and unspoilt while being only 40 kilometres from Maputo.
Drove through on the way back from my trip to inhaca island. You will definitely need a 4x4 to get through the sandy roads, but it is great fun

Man sollte Spass am Geländefahren mitbringen. findet tolle abwechslungsreiche Landschaften viel Freiheit und Einsamkeit. Tiere sind nicht so leicht zu beobachten wie in Südafrikanischen Parks.Aber man wird nicht überwacht und es fällt nicht auf wenn man wild campt. Die Zufahrt über das Gala Gate ist momentan (Nov.19) kaum möglich da die Wege durch LKW für normale Geländewägen unpassierbar geworden sind, unbedingt Schaufeln und viel Zeit mitbringen.Wir mussten eine Nacht am Wegesrand verbringen. Die Wege vom Hauptgate sind OK.

It was a nice park but we saw elephants from about 1000 m away. Such a long way to go to see very few animals. I went to Kruger the day before and there we saw so much more.

Relatively wide area with plenty of spieces and you can meet all of them in half a day. Though, there are no predators, still beware of hippos, crocs and elephants - it is their territory and you're not welcome there. Averall, a good place to spend a day, especially with kids. Also, be prepared to polish the car from the bush scratches. Will do another 2-day trip with overnight stay on the beach.

Hi guys, can I only go to the Maputo Elephant Reserve with an organised tour guide? If I just tune up will I find a tour guide with a 4X4 there?
Dear Belle,
No, you don't need an organised tour guide to travel around. What is necessary is a 4x4 vehicle (it is not allowed nor possible to drive around with a regular vehicle).
During my visit I didn't observe any organised tour guides with vehicles waiting at the entrance. It might be possible to arrange a tour from Maputo.
Personally I would recommend to drive by yourself, although when you are on your own and the car gets stuck or you get a flat tyre it might be tricky.

Hi we are planning to go to Santa Maria through Maputo Elephant Reserve. We are only 1 car and would like to go in July 2018. Please advice how long it would take from Ponto de Ouro through the park to Santa Maria. Also please comment if it is safe to go in one vehicle
Hi there. It can take a while. It is quicker to take the ferry from Maputo but the reserve is beautiful and there is a good chance to see elephant, hippo and other wildlife. The trip probably takes about 3 hours. Make sure you have essentials including extra water and gas.

I am trying to book at the Milibangalala camp site, but I am unable to find the contact details or persons to get this done. It is URGENT.
My contact details are Brenda Nel 072 212 7477
Nothing happens quickly in Mozambique. You must plan ahead. You can contact the Park System in Maputo if you do not have luck contacting the park directly.
