Deep within over a million acres of protected wilderness, Chicari Camp is one of just two safari camps in Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park – a park celebrated for its biodiversity and inspiring conservation success. Formerly Gorongosa Wild Camp, this newly built seasonal camp offers exclusive access to a truly wild landscape.

Named after the traditional clay drinking pot, Chicari overlooks a year-round pan that draws a steady flow of wildlife. Surrounded by fever trees and woodlands, the camp blends low-impact design with understated comfort.

There are eight en-suite safari tents and two Treehide Tents at the base of a wooden treehouse. The Treehides share a deck and are ideal for families or two couples. Each tent has a private deck with front-row views of the pan’s daily wildlife parade.

Days are spent exploring Gorongosa on foot or by vehicle with expert local guides. Evenings centre around the bar, dining tent, and main campfire, where Chef Eddy and his team serve delicious meals and homemade treats. Guests flow through the space at their own pace, soaking up the stillness and spectacle of one of Africa’s most untouched parks.
