Gorongosa National Park
Africa's greatest wildlife comeback story — a park devastated by civil war now restored to thriving wilderness with growing populations of lions, elephants, and wild dogs.
Highlights
Best Time to Visit
June to October for dry season when animals concentrate around Lake Urema and the Pungue River. The floodplain recedes to reveal open grasslands ideal for game viewing. Roads are impassable from January to March.
Budget Guide
One of Africa's most affordable safari experiences. Park entry $20/adult. Chitengo Camp (park-run) from $40-120/night. Montebelo Gorongosa Lodge $80-200/night. Game drives $25-40/person. Guided walks and boat trips available at modest cost. Very few luxury options currently.
Getting There
Fly from Maputo to Beira (1.5hrs), then drive 3-4 hours to the park. A new road from Beira has improved access. Charter flights to the park airstrip from Beira. The park is in central Mozambique, about 150km from Beira.
