Gorongosa Park Open - Reservations required to enter Park
Gorongosa National Park is open for visitors. Early season activities are well underway and include boating, canoeing, cycling and limited safari drives. Reservations are required. Overnight guests may stay at the Chitengo campsite (self catering) or go on one of our fly-camp adventures (meals are provided by our team). Proceeds from all park visits create local jobs, build schools and support local education, healthcare and training programs. Contact us at safari@gorongosa.net for details
