Mozambique Parks
Philip is a renowned Africa expert and author of many Bradt guidebooks to African destinations, including the guide to Mozambique.
With more than 350 species recorded, Maputo National Park offers great birding opportunities. The relatively small area supports a varied range of habitats including mangroves, wetlands, forest, grassland and coastal dunes. This in turn supports a wide range of bird species. There are quite a few specials with restricted ranges to be found in the park, including green coucal, brown robin, Rudd’s apalis, Woodwards’ batis and pink-throated twinspot. The beautiful rosy-throated longclaw is common in the grassland area.

Best Time for Bird Watching
The birdlife in Maputo NP is good year-round. However, while the best time for general wildlife viewing is in the Dry season months from July to September, the Wet season (October to April) is the best time for bird watching. This is due to the presence of migratory birds.
