Bordering Tanzania in northern Mozambique, Niassa National Reserve is recognised as one of the last true wilderness areas left undeveloped in Africa. The landscape is characterised by clusters of woodland and grass savannah scattered with inselbergs (small, isolated mounds). Mozambique's biggest conservation area and one of the largest on the continent, Niassa extends over an area twice the size of Wales. It protects an amazingly rich and varied wildlife population, including lion, leopard, antelope, elephant, warthogs, buffalo, hippo, wild dog, hyena and most notably, three endemic species - Niassa wildebeest, Boehm's zebra, and Johnston's impala. Take advantage of the opportunity to view over 600 hippos who call the reserve's Lugenda River home.

Located in the Great Rift Valley, in Central Mozambique, the Gorongosa National Park is known for its unique biodiversity, spectacular natural scenery and abundant wildlife. The focus of a National Geographic film entitled ‘Africa’s Lost Eden’, the Gorongosa National Park – with its cobalt-blue lagoons, wide open savannah and forested mountains studded with waterfalls – is indeed an earthly paradise, tucked beneath the towering peak of Mount Gorongosa. This popular ecotourism destination presents a conservation success story of community-engaged environmentalism at its best. Activities offered include game drives, guided game treks, waterfall hikes, sundowner excursions, and birding safaris.
