📍 About the location
The Maputo Natural Reserve, with 1040 km² of area (locally known as Reserve Especial de Maputo) is located in the southernmost part of Mozambique, 79 km south of Maputo Province, on the Inhaca Peninsula. It encompasses the area from the Indian Ocean on the eastern boundary to the Rio Maputo on the western edge. The Maputo reserve is part of the Lubombos Tran frontier park, which links the Maputo Elephant Reserve in Mozambique through the Futi Corridor and the Lubombo Conservancy in Swaziland to the Tembe Elephant Park in South Africa, creating the first major elephant stronghold along Africa's eastern coastline.
🎒 Leisure activities
Weekends are meant to be for free tours that the group can organize by itself. It has now become a custom in all our work camps to have cultural nights when each volunteer can present her/his country and culture.
⚠️ Requirements
Language: Portuguese and English are the Camp Languages.
