About Mussiro Trips

Traveling with purpose

The unique and exclusive Mozambique tours, created by Mussiro Trips, are an immersive traveling experience. Thought for those of us seeking a more meaningful connection with the places we travel to and the people we travel with.

Mussiro creates and delivers travel expeditions from Mozambique, we have a few signature trips to Maputo Special Reserve, Inhaca, Tofo, Vilanculos, Quissanga, Ilha de Moçambique, Kruger Park by Limpopo, but we can also design your own trip, at your own pace.

Try our Overlander (Safari truck), our unique Game Viewers, or our boat safaris and experience the true colors of Mozambique.

About Mussiro Trips

Mussiro refers to root, a sought-after forest special treasure that is mainly used in Northern Mozambique as a cure for diseases, for decorative purposes and also as to treat skin. It was also traditionally used by young women as a symbol to preserve their chastity.

Today even the current generations embrace Mussiro; a tradition that was started by their great grandparents. We picked the name Mussiro for our trips because we are committed to exposing the roots of Mozambique and not only it’s superficial face.

We are committed to making you feel at home through the safety and comfort of our expeditions while at the same time give you the natural and local flavor and embrace the diversity Mozambique has to offer. We believe in transformational travel, each route should be a delight not only for the eyes but for our souls.

We are also represented on Safaribookings.com.

The Trips

We have Day Trips to Inhaca, Maputo Special Reserve, Kruger Park, Calanga Beach, and a few other. We also have 5 day beach hoping expeditions by Overlander and a few longer expeditions that take you all the way to the north, from Maputo to Quirimbas. We also have a 3 day expedition that takes you to Kruger Park but using the Mozambican gates on the Limpopo Region. We have Moz Art, our flagship tour in the Maputo, where you can learn how to design batiks, or wood carving. You can meet a traditional healer and apply Mussiro yourself 🙂
