Maputo National Park publishes separate per-person entrance, scuba, snorkeling and vehicle/boat tariff categories, as well as restrictions requiring an authorized operator or permit for certain marine activities. The Malongane resort advertises a separate reef tax excluded from 2026 accommodation rates. These are published tariff categories, not a confirmed payable sum for every beach guest. Confirm what is due, who collects it, daily versus weekly validity and whether the operator already includes it. Fees below are in original MZN and are not converted.
