About Maputo

Maputo, capital of East Africa’s Mozambique, is an Indian Ocean port with preserved Portuguese colonial architecture. Many turn-of-the-century buildings are in the downtown jacaranda-lined Baixa neighborhood. The bronze-domed CFM Maputo Railway Station, for example, was completed in 1916. The Baixa also has an expansive Municipal Market. The neoclassical City Hall is in the nearby Praça da Independência square.

Best time to visit

Wildlife

Elephants are the only confirmed residents from the Big Five. The most common antelope is the reedbuck, which likes the open grassland habitat. Nyala and duiker are quite common as well. Other animals to look out for are greater kudu, waterbuck, bushbuck, impala, and steenbok. Leopard might be present, but the predator you’re most likely to spot is the side-striped jackal.
