Exciting that the neighbouring Maputo Special reserve now has buffalo! It just keeps getting better and better.

Using a drone to get a better view of the creatures just off the beach. Not whales though. Those are Dugong!! So wonderful to see a little one too.

Turtle tracks up the beach in front of Vista Abril. Expect those eggs to hatch in about 60 days!!

Africa's longest suspension bridge reduces the drive from Maputo to the Maputo Special Reserve to just 45 minutes!
