We want all of our visitors to have a fun and safe time on their Mozambique safari in Gorongosa. To ensure that everyone has a good time and that our wildlife and landscapes are protected, please follow these simple “Do’s and Don’ts”. Some of these rules are in place to show respect and courtesy toward other guests, while others are very strict rules that we enforce to ensure your safety and the safety of others.

Currently we do not allow self-driving in the park.  We are working on identifying areas within the park that are suitable for self -driving. Until then we encourage our guests to take part in guided safaris in open vehicles that depart from Chitengo Camp / Montebelo Gorongosa Lodge and Safari.

Do

✔ Adhere to Gate Times – All Park gates open at 6am and close at 6pm. Take care to plan your travel to Gorongosa to ensure that you arrive at the main Park gate before 6pm.

✔ Ask about Age Restrictions – For safety reasons, some activities have age restrictions. Please ask about age restrictions before booking activities for your children to prevent disappointment. Children under the age of 12 are not allowed at Muzimo and Wild Camp however they can stay at Montebelo lodge and Chitengo Campsite. For children under the age of 12 we organize closed vehicles. For security reason, children under 12 are not allowed to go on Safaris on open vehicles. 

✔ Bring ID with You – All adults should bring some form of identification on their trip in case they are asked to identify themselves to Park officials.

✔ Declare Firearms at the Gate – Any firearm, dangerous weapon, explosive, trap, or poison must be declared at the gate. The Park reserves the right to search any vehicle suspected of hunting activities.

Don’t

✗ Disturb Other Guests – Don’t behave in an offensive or disorderly manner toward other guests. Also, we ask that you don’t play a radio, other music systems, or musical instruments in a manner that will disturb other guests. The Park has a strict rule of quiet in camp after 2100h.
