Wildlife Thriving In Maputo National Park

Southern Mozambique’s Maputo National Park is considered one of the most biodiverse yet endangered regions on Earth, offering visitors a wide range of habitats to explore. From its white, sandy beaches, freshwater lakes, grasslands and riverine forests to a marine protected area that stretches 3 nautical miles out to sea, visiting Maputo National Park is truly a nature-lovers dream come true. Not only is the scenery stunning, but each habitat here supports a host of different species.

Maputo National Park also includes the Ponta do Ouro-Kosi Bay Transfrontier Conservation Area, which links up with South Africa’s iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a World Heritage Site and this holds one of the many drawcards to this spectacular place - visitors can explore both the bush and the beach on the same day.

Peace Parks Foundation has been supporting the development of Maputo National Park since 2002 through infrastructure development, wildlife protection and counter-poaching training as well as the rewilding of many species that went locally extinct. It has now been twenty years of ground-laying work implemented by the foundation and Mozambique’s National Administration for Conservation Areas, and excitedly, this park is finally bearing the fruits of that labour.
