The museum was a very fun stop with our two little children. The animal display was very exciting for them and being able to stand near the wild animals and get a feel for their actual size was a big experience. If you aren't into animals there isn't a whole lot else to see, though. There are some great specimens of skeletons too. I'd say that for what you pay for entrance you definitely get you money's worth. It is a tad outdated and the exhibits are a bit old but it still makes for a fun trip.

Museum of Natural History, located in the centre of Maputo city easily accessible. It shows most wildlife in Mozambique(including some African countries) with a section with crafts from old times in Mozambique. Really worth visiting. The entrance fee is reasonable.

The exhibits were interesting but some rooms or walkways were not accessible due to maintenance needing to be done. We found the outdoor dinosaurs fun and some of the indoor exhibits very interesting though. Worth the visit, just wish it was in better shape.

Very old museum, but maintain very well. Well done to everyone that still keeps it going for the youth to learn from.

The museum is a nice attraction to visit. It's very sad that the exhibits are not being maintained and restored. Many of the taxidermy animals are decaying. The museum is very hot side as there is no aircons that is working. Entrance is 100MZN (R25) pp - February 2022 price. The gardens outside is not being maintained is has lots of rubbish. There are some dinosaur replicas with info plates next to them. I would recommend for anyone visiting Maputo for the first time.

Very interesting place telling typical African animals, esp the life journey of elephant by its real placenta and fetus in the 20 momths of gestation...you must be aware that it is the only one elephant placenta across the planet..

I used to come here as a child all the time; it had been a few years since my last visit, and I wasn't dissapointed. Everything was exactly as I remembered it, which isn't really the best thing, as some information was outdated (the evolutionary tree, that sort of thing), but it is a magical place, and truly somewhere one must visit when in Maputo. The building is beautiful, but sadly, there is no wheelchair accessibility; a flight of stairs inside, too. Some of the taxidermy is a little funny, but a lot of effort and care went into the placement of the animals.

The building itself is beautiful. The collections are what you would see in a Natural History Museum elsewhere with the exception of the elephant foetuses preserved in formaldehyde which are fascinating. However they were cultivated when the colonial government decided to clear the forested area South of Maputo and in the process slaughtered about two thousand elephants.

Nice place to visit, but like a lot of places. Almost no maintenance is done. Animals are falling apart….

Nice tourist attraction in a busy part of the city that bears its name. Better gift shop than most other attractions in the city

Nice natural history museum. May not be the largest there is, but the guided tour is informative and entertaining, especially for children. There's a lot of information about Mozambican animals.

The exhibits are really old but it's not expensive to visit and a great way to pass some time.

This museum is full of history and it is a must visit if you are visiting the city of Maputo. The variety of animals kept in the museum is stunning and the stories behind them are even more interesting.

The history of the animals is good, one can learn about animals. They videos of each animal displayed. They are made of wood but the outside is real animal skin, horns and eyes.

Old museum but well maintained and cleaned. Exhibits are old and not restored but really good staff and if I got the chance I would absolutely visit this museum again.

Great musuem. Old fashioned but good. Preserved more or less okay but you can see signs of slight decay. Would recommend nonetheless.

Interesting visit, but I wish it was in a better shape and that it opened on the weekends too.

Many very interesting exhibits.

Essential museum in Maputo. Great representations of animals that surprise young and old. A large collection of exoskeletons. Thanks for the welcome.
