Jardim Zoológico de Maputo

The Jardim Zoológico de Maputo is a zoo in Inhagoia B that displays African wildlife. The facility is organized into different areas where visitors can observe regional animal species in separate environments.

The zoo was founded in 1929 and began as a small collection of animals. Over time it grew into a key institution for wildlife protection and study in Mozambique.

The zoo serves as a space where visitors connect with Mozambican wildlife and learn about local animal species. It reflects how the community values the preservation of regional fauna through hands-on observation and education.

The zoo is open to visitors on weekdays from Monday through Friday. It is best to visit in the early morning when animals are most active and the grounds are less crowded.

The zoo maintains specialized habitats that support research on the preservation of local ecosystems. Visitors can witness firsthand how education and on-site conservation work together to protect regional wildlife.
