Description

Discover the district of Manhiça on an off-road adventure from Maputo. Explore the stunning landscape of dry terrain, sandy trails, and natural rock formations that feel like a world apart. Enjoy a 4x4 safari designed for those who crave adventure, a deep connection with nature, and the thrill of exploring paths off the beaten track. Begin with a pickup in Maputo or a designated meeting point in Manhiça. After a quick safety briefing and introduction to the day’s itinerary, set off in rugged 4x4 vehicles specially equipped to handle any terrain. Make your way through soft sand, steep inclines, and winding desert trails, experiencing a side of Mozambique few travelers ever see. Reach panoramic viewpoints over the desert landscape. Take time for photos, relaxation, and reflection. On clear days, the contrast between the deep blue sky and the golden sands creates a striking visual experience. For photographers and nature lovers, it’s a dream come true. For everyone else, it’s a moment of peace and awe. Customize the safari to last a half day or a full day. A longer version may include a rustic picnic right in the heart of the desert or even a traditional Mozambican lunch prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Throughout the trip, enjoy water, light snacks, and all the equipment necessary to ensure comfort and safety on the journey.
