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.

Set in the Great Rift Valley of central Mozambique, Gorongosa National Park is one of Africa’s most remarkable conservation stories.
Once described by National Geographic as Africa’s Lost Eden, Gorongosa is a place of real variety: open floodplains, blue lagoons, woodland, forested slopes and the backdrop of Mount Gorongosa rising above the park.
What makes it so compelling is not just the scenery or the wildlife, but the sense of recovery. This is a park that has come through a difficult history and is now rebuilding through serious conservation work, strong community involvement and a long-term commitment to protecting the landscape.
Days here can include game drives, guided walks, birding, sundowners and, where time allows, exploring the waterfalls and higher country linked to Mount Gorongosa.
For guests who enjoy wild places with depth, Gorongosa offers something very special: wildlife, scenery, conservation and a powerful sense of a park still writing its next chapter.
