📍 About the location
Located in Maputo City, 7 km from the City Centre, Maputo Zoo is the only zoo we have in Maputo and one of the few in Mozambique. Over the last years have been neglected and only have few animals including monkeys and some serpents. It was created in 1929.
Leisure Activities : Weekends are meant to be for free tours that the group can organize by itself. You can decide to visit places of interest around the area of the work camp. It has now become a custom in all our Workcamps to have cultural nights. This affords each volunteer the opportunity to present her/his country and culture. Please bring with you your national flag and traditional dress if possible. Sports and artistic moments will be organized together by the participants and local community. In some cases the workcamp may run during special event (festival, fairs, workshops and others) occurring close to the area where the camp will be running.
