Mozambique’s Resilient Wild Heart

Gorongosa is the jewel in Mozambique’s safari crown. The national park was once one of Africa’s finest safari parks. It has been through some tough times due to Mozambique’s civil war and years of poaching, but it remains a staggeringly beautiful wilderness area loved by safari connoisseurs and considered one of the best destinations for walking vacations. Couple this with a surge of recent investment in the park, and the future looks bright for Gorongosa.

Today, the park is still recovering, so it is not suitable for travelers in search of a Big Five safari experience. However, for experienced safari hands, or simply for adventurers looking to avoid the crowds, Gorongosa is as good as it gets.

Where to Stay

With wildlife numbers now rebounding higher than the 1970s for the first time ever, Gorongosa is an exciting place to explore. It’s ideal for travelers seeking a more immersive experience in an incredible, biodiverse park, with few people and vehicles, where you experience a genuine sense of connection to place and purpose.
