Gorongosa National Park is Mozambique’s flagship conservation area with a remarkable history; before the onset of civil war in the 1970’s, the Park was considered one of Africa’s finest, with large populations of herbivores and predators alike.
Due to the incredible amount of wildlife, this area was affectionately referred to as the place where Noah left his Arc.

a Mozambique safari at Gorongosa National Park contains a an intriguing diversity of animals, birds and plants - some of which are found nowhere else in the world. The Park is home to significant populations of oribi, reedbuck, waterbuck, warthog and sable, with large herds of the latter up to 120 animals per herd! Predators are recovering slowly, with a number of lion prides and a few male coalitions within the Park. Elephant herds and bulls are regularly encountered, with the bulls being particularly relaxed providing great viewing.
Large herbivores are being reintroduced through the sanctuary which has good herds of buffalo, wildebeest, kudu, and Lichtenstein’s hartebeest. Leopard occur but these numbers still need to increase somewhat. In the rivers and lake, populations of hippo and crocodile occur, whilst on the floodplains zebra, impala, monkeys and baboons are to be found.
