Maputo National Park Rangers Picked Up In Style

After a group of rangers have finished their foot patrol in Maputo National Park, Uwe Muhl, Peace Parks Chief Helicopter Pilot, swoops in to take the rangers back to the picket. The road network in Maputo National Park is extremely limited and the terrain is challenging no matter your 4x4 capabilities, so relying on skilled pilots like Uwe is critical in protecting and managing this beautiful park.

Helicopters play a critical role in the protection of Africa’s conservation areas. With their speed and agility, they can land almost anywhere that otherwise might be inaccessible to vehicles.

With over 5 000 animals having been translocated since 2010, wildlife is a critical component of keeping the ecosystem healthy and balanced, so it remains vital to protect them through effective counter-poaching strategies, including ranger patrols and aerial surveillance.

Due to the vast expanse of the park, most of which is inaccessible by vehicle, the added advantage of having helicopter assistance helps to reinforce counter-poaching operations and monitor wildlife safety.
