Historic Capital of Maputo

The Pestana Rovuma Hotel is perfectly situated in the center of Maputo next to the Botanical Gardens and the famous "Iron House" built by Gustav Eiffel, the same man who built the Eiffel Tower. Our guide will take you to visit some points of interest around the city center, the old Portuguese fort, the market square and beautifully ornate colonial-style railway station, and the Museum of Natural History as well as interesting monuments and statues that recall colonial rule and the leaders that lead the transition to independence in the 1970s.
If you have come from South Africa to get here, you will notice a distinct relaxation. There is less crime here and although you still need to be aware of your surroundings and where you go you can afford to be a little less so here in Mozambique.
This tour can be added as a continuation or prequel to a Kruger itinerary and can also be continued south into Zululand and Durban from whence you can fly to Cape Town and also available as a 3-day trip.
