Raised above the ground and discreetly positioned along the riverbank, Muzimu Lodge’s six tented suites are designed in classic East African style, offering a quiet, elegant retreat after a day in the bush. Each canvas tent opens onto a private timber deck with views of the surrounding landscape. Inside, king-sized beds (twin available), fine linens, en-suite bathrooms, ceiling fans, in room wifi and thoughtful touches ensure comfort without excess. Simplicity here is intentional, allowing the beauty of Gorongosa to take centre stage, while every detail — from the filtered light to the soft sounds of nature — contributes to a sense of serenity and connection.
