Ponta Membene

Maputo Special Reserve's Park Parque Nacional de Maputo, Ponta Membene, Ponta Manbene 00000

About Ponta Membene

Nestled in the core of Maputo Special Reserve’s coastal forest, behind the sand dunes and a few meters away from the long fine white sand beach and the turquoise sea, Ponta Membene offers the ideal base for both adventurous safari and laziness

Accommodation is offered in self-catering Dune and Forest Chalets, as well as campsites with exclusive ablutions and a group campsite with its own kitchen facility and ablution

The Dune Chalets are positioned on the lowest part of the coastal dune, from the west you get the sunset dimming through the forest over the wetland and from the east you get the cool sea breeze and the sound of the ocean. The Forest Chalets are positioned in the forest on the edge of the wetland with great care, offering you an opportunity to experience nature close-up with indoor-outdoor living. Guests have a choice of one- or two-bedroom chalets, each with their own kitchen, dining and living area, a private bathroom with an outdoor shower, and an outdoor firepit or braai area

The campsites are located next to the idyllic beach of Ponta Membene and offer you the opportunity to enjoy our vibrant fauna during the day and relax in front of the fire at night. The campsites each have hot showers, a USB plug point, 18h to 22h electricity, a water tap, and braai facilities

Explore the wild splendours of the Maputo Special Reserve surrounding you. Elephant, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, exquisite bird sightings and many more are awaiting you. If you would rather just relax, then the wild Mozambican coast at your feet invites you on kilometres of pristine beach, and the turquoise sea welcomes you to meet exceptional marine fauna and flora: swim with dolphins, contemplate the multi-coloured coral reefs and their countless inhabitants, dive and meet whales and whale sharks

After years of meticulous planning, and the immeasurable passion of hundreds of people working together towards the honourable goal of preserving a natural wonderland in a way that will allow its unspoiled beauty to be enjoyed by one and all. Ponta Membene is truly becoming ‘The Jewel in the Crown of the national treasure that is Maputo National Park, offering wildlife experiences and moments that will last a lifetime

What a stunning place- in a game reserve: Maputo National Park, in Mozambique! We camped for 2 nights in the reserve, totally self sufficient, then arrived at the beach pleasantly surprised with the facilities for camping! The bathrooms and wash up facilities were amazing. We had a great campsite, 1 and 2, sharing with friends and were close to the stunning beach. The restaurant along the board walk offered free wifi but very expensive drinks and food... We were very happy with the former! There is a pool and Lapa with a deck overlooking the sea, (great for a little party) that you can book to use. We peeped at the lodges- they are smart with a outdoor/ modern feel and overlook the bush. Hippo, croc and elephant territory - so just be careful. Great camping, game viewing, snorkeling, 4x4ing spot!

Beautiful destination. 2-3 hours from Futi gate. 4x4 highly recommended. Great facilities for campers and those looking for a more luxurious stay. Rained twice in our stay in July and plenty mosquitoes so take repellent. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Wonderful experience. Going through the game reserve is exactly like a game, different stages, scenarios that although rough are worthwhile once you reach the destination. One thinking about staying here should definitely think about a minimum 2-night stay to make full use of the trip. Thank me later... ;]

I've been to Ponta Membene twice with groups of friends and stayed in their dune chalets as well as one of their campsites. This has to be one of the best locations for families and friend-groups to get away and enjoy a fantastic beach in near total seclusion. Arno and Emelio are friendly, efficient and helpful managers. And the camp staff like David are hard-working, friendly, and generous. Where else in Africa can you rent a campsite that offers daily laundry and dishwashing? You go to the beach in the morning and when you get back to your campsite your laundry is all washed and hung up to dry, all the dishes and pots and pans have been washed, and the entire campsite has been swept. Fantastic! The showers and toilets are very well designed and cleaned daily. The electricity is far more reliable than anywhere in SA, and there is always clean, running water in the camp. A great place for snorkeling, game drives, beach walks, or just playing card games and drinking cold beer. Better than any camp sites anywhere in South Africa, that's for sure!

We camped at Ponta Membene for 11 days. The camp sites were beautiful and shaded, the bathroom was so well designed and clean. Everyday people will come to the the camp to help clean. We had a gentleman called David and he was wonderful!! The beach was amazing. The food at restaurant was delicious and all the staff is so friendly and helpful. I will recommend Ponta Membene who wants to rest and enjoy nature!

Will definitely be back, one of the best places we've been to. The road through the park is a tad rough, but worth every minute to get to this piece of heaven. The food, the facilities, the beach, the staff, everything was just perfect and memorable.
