Muzimu Lodge

Your Mozambique luxury safari begins upon arrival in Beira. From here, board a shared charter flight into Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. Upon landing, transfer to Muzimu Lodge, where a river-facing safari tent places you close to the surrounding wilderness.

Later, set out on your first safari experience on an afternoon game drive. Gorongosa contains a rich mix of grasslands, forests, floodplains, and waterways. Together, these habitats support a growing variety of wildlife, including elephant, lion, antelope, and many bird species.

The park has also become known for its major restoration efforts after years of conflict took a heavy toll on its ecosystem. Learn more about the communities that play an important role in Gorongosa’s future. Depending on timing, visit projects focused on education, farming, beekeeping, and reducing conflict between people and wildlife. You may also visit local schools or Girls’ Clubs.

Chicari Camp

Next, travel deeper into Gorongosa by safari vehicle and transfer to Chicari Camp. Wildlife viewing continues along the way and allows for an afternoon safari and sundowners.

Or, opt for a full-day excursion to Mount Gorongosa. Explore coffee farms and reforestation projects linked to the Gorongosa Coffee Project. Then hike toward Murombodzi Waterfalls while learning how conservation and local livelihoods support one another.

Your Mozambique tour also provides rare access to the science behind Gorongosa’s recovery. Join the Pangolin Guardians during a supervised foraging experience and visit the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Laboratory. Here, scientists research the park’s plants, animals, and changing ecosystems.

Indeed, these behind-the-scenes experiences reveal the work required to protect a large African wilderness.

On your final full day, choose between another game drive and a guided walking safari. On foot, the focus shifts to animal tracks, plants, insects, and smaller details in the landscape. For another perspective, consider adding a night drive in search of nocturnal species.
