Due to demand and preference for longer bookings, mostly for at least 7 days by most foreign visitors, we are not able to offer confirmed bookings for only 2 nights, long in advance.
To accommodate Maputo residents who often only wish to visit for a weekend, we are happy to make a provisional reservation, but can only offer confirmation 4 weeks in advance if a booking is only for 2 nights, or 6 weeks in advance if the booking is for 3 nights.
Easter Holidays – We recommend at least 7 nights for peak season. Tariff is R11,445/night with R11,970/night applicable for the Easter weekend portion. Due to high demand, we try to optimise the bookings over peak periods.
December 2022/New Year weeks - We are almost fully booked over December 2022. Please check the calendar regularly for any changes, or email rozanne@mozconsl.co.za for enquiries.
