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 few metres 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 offers 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 sighting 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 an 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 honorable goal to preserve 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.

Went camping before christmas and were impressed by the bathroom and kitchen amenities at the campsite. Enjoyed the walks to the restaurant and on the beach. Very quiet and secluded. Also enjoyed the drive to Membene although it was a little daunting at times especially when a car is coming from the opposite direction. Will definitely go there again

An absolute hidden gem of a location and must-visit location for anyone looking for a secluded, pristine, and incredible accommodation. The rooms along the beach are incredible - an amazing kitchen to cook in if you choose and the design of the overall room ranks in the best places I've ever traveled to. I couldn't believe the services and quality of accommodation you can get for the price. Plus the drive to the lodge and the absolute secluded nature of the beach makes this one of the best places to visit in Mozambique. As an amateur wildlife photographer and beach lover who has traveled to many beach locations across the world, Ponta Membane will forever remain one of my favorite travel destinations. I also incurred a slight issue with my form of payment, and the staff went above and beyond any expectation in terms of working through the issue, communicating promptly, and going above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with the result. I look forward to returning here one day soon.

Stayed here over Christmas. The staff are the standout that make the stay what it is. We stayed in a Forest Chalet, big enough for a family of four if needed. Great combination of indoor and outdoor space. The drive to Ponta Membene does require a 4x4 in my opinion. On our way in we did see a number of local vans/cars getting stuck and we did indeed get stuck ourselves once, even in 4x4 mode. I would recommend this place, before it becomes too discovered :)

I had a wonderful time at Ponta Membene. Beautiful beach! Arno, one of the managers at the restaurant, was so helpful and kind. He is very well versed in the surrounding wildlife and was able to inform me with what there was to offer. Arno definitely elevated my stay here :)
