What you can reach from Maputo

Maputo is Portuguese-Deco architecture, seafood and the road south to Ponta do Ouro. From here the practical targets are Bazaruto Archipelago, Tofo whale sharks, Quirimbas Archipelago, Ilha de Moçambique (UNESCO). Operators based in Maputo run these as day trips and multi-day circuits depending on distance.

What a trip costs, and why the number differs here

Expect US$25–960 per person depending on length, group size and whether park fees are bundled. On Cabana that figure is the operator's own price. Aggregators typically take 15–25% from the operator, and that margin is priced into the rate you are quoted elsewhere — the same guide, the same vehicle, a higher number.

Booking direct with the operator

Cabana has no Maputo tour operators listed yet. The model is direct booking with zero commission — an operator keeps 100% of what they charge — so if you run trips from Maputo, listing is free and takes a few minutes. The costs and seasons above are independent guidance either way.

When to go

Apr–Oct dry season. Wildlife density, road condition and price all move with that window, so it is worth building the trip around it where you can.
