Itinerary
Day 1
Maputo City Tour and Travel to Beline
Close
Upon your arrival, you will head off on a city tour of Maputo. Maputo is the place to visit if you enjoy history and wish to view restored Portuguese neoclassical buildings. The city's long history can be traced back to the 1500s when it was merely a fishing community. It evolved into a Portuguese colony as well as a vital port city over the ages following its founding by the explorer Lourenço Marques. It became the capital of Mozambique after the country gained independence. You will take in some of the top attractions before settling into your hotel for the night.
