Please bring: 1 metical entrance fee plus 5 meticais for parking; a camera; a card reader or cords to download pictures from your camera to a computer; a dish, snack or drink to share.
The Maputo Zoo is located on Avenida de Moçambique (EN1) just past the overpass. An easy way to get there from the Sommerschield area is to take Av. Kenneth Kaunda past Av. Accordos de Lusaka (that's the street that takes you to the airport and Shoprite) going straight in the direction of Machava for approximately three kilometers. Take the offramp and make a right at the top on Av. de Moçambique. The Jardim Zoologico is to the immediate left past the overpass with a blue Vodacom wall. It is before a pair of petrol stations (Petromac and a BP) neighboring the Centro Hipico.
I will arrive at the zoo when it opens at 7:30 a.m. If you would like a ride or to follow me, please meet at my house by 7:00. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
