Large herds graze in the open floodplains and explore the thick dune forests.<\/p>\n

The land area combines lakes, wetlands, swamp forests, grasslands and mangrove forests with a pristine coastline that lies within the Maputaland Centre of Endemism.<\/p>\n

Several distinct waterbodies define the fresh and saline coastal lake system area.<\/p>\n

Rivers include the Futi and Maputo. The largest lakes are Piti, Xinguti and Munde lakes.<\/p>\n

Riverine and estuarine wetland systems provide a special habitat for various communities of species. These include sea grass bed, mangrove, saline and freshwater hygrophilous, grasslands, reed \u2013 and sedge beds as well as swamp forest.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”container”][vc_column][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/SAxHjIq-PVA”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
