Futi Corridor a recently proclaimed protected area that forms a link between Maputo Special Reserve in Mozambique and Thembe Elephant Park in South Africa.

The Reserve is 1,040 km2 (400 square mile) in extent and was originally proclaimed in 1932 to protect a small population of coastal elephants resident in the area.

[3] The Tembe Elephant Parc is a regional reserve of South African Ezemvelo KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife (EKZNW) (WDPA 39758) with no IUCN status.

[4] The Futi River is the northern extension of the drainage line known as the Mosi Swamp, which rises near Manaba about 55 km south of the border.

The reserve will eventually form part of the Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area, which includes national parks from South Africa, Mozambique and Eswatini.

The tarred main road linking the area to Maputo has opened access and is resulting in a growing demand for land on either side of the Futi Corridor.
