Matola Raid Memorial

Reviewed By Mohnomishe - Lusaka, Zambia

I have been at this site around five times, either alone or bringing groups of friends there. Never have I encountered any other visitors, which is such a pity. Government needs to take action and make this important museum/monument more publicly known! Everybody needs to be reminded about the atrocities perpetuated by the South African apartheid regime, and the cross-border raids that killed so many ANC activists - in Matola as well as in many other places. This site features an impressing outdoors memorial monument, and a modern, smartly designed museum outlining the freedom struggles in RSA and Moz. Knowledgeable English speaking guides are available, and entrance is free - though you will be asked for a voluntary donation. My one remark is that the museum would be vastly improved if they invested in backup electricity. On one of my visits there was a power outage, which left the interiors very dark without any illumination. And also the TV monitors that show filmed material were rendered useless.

Fortaleza de Sao Sebastiao

Reviewed By Rofiqul_Rana - Dhaka City, Bangladesh

The fort is well maintained and a great place to know the history of Mozambique. You will have to pay a entry fee of MT200 but it's worth it. Make sure you climb on the roof and walk toward the Sea side, amazing view.
