Voice of Travelers to Maputo
My brothers wedding in Maputo
It was last year December when my younger brother was having his wedding in Maputo. I was excited to travel to Maputo to see his wife to be and enjoy the ceremony. I got my air ticket early so that I could get the lowest ticket rate. I arrived after a seven hour flight by Kenya airways. I got my ticket from them as it was the cheapest ticket rate. The wedding was magnificent. I toured several places and enjoyed the warm weather in the country. On returning no one wanted to get their ticket as we had all become so comfortable in the city.
School trip to Maputo
My school planned a three day trip to Maputo. I was part of the team that was to travel to Maputo. The school got us the ticket via Kenya airways and the return ticket via Ethiopian airlines. It too us five hours to get to Maputo. The weather was great and we got to visit several tourist attractions such as Samora Machel statue and Museum of Natural history where we took great pictures. The rest of the days were great we ate so much in our hotel I think I gained ten kilograms. We boarded our ticket back home once the trip was over.
