Gorongosa National Park

In Mozambique, I experienced some of the most beautiful moments of my life. Here, time seems to stand still, and the nature and people are enchanting. I somehow feel like I belong to this place. I arrived in Mozambique driven by a desire that attracted me like a magnetic force. Now I understand why. I witnessed the results of one of the largest nature conservation projects, which involved superhuman efforts to save completely destroyed habitats. A few dedicated people saved Gorongosa National Park, led by the great philanthropist Greg Carr. Besides meeting these heroes, it was a great joy to see Vinul din Tăușeni wine being enjoyed by these people who are saving the planet. Their achievements inspired me and made me feel that, I too, can cange the world.

One of the most beautiful national parks I’ve ever been to and with such a sad history. So happy to see it doing well again. Views are incredible and animal and bird life is magnificent! Cannot wait to visit again.

People are working hard to bring this park back up to former levels of wildlife (many killed during the civil war). It shows. We had a super drive with knowledgeable guides (you cannot currently self drive due to aggressive elephants because of their civil war experience). The scenery was beautiful, lots of biodiversity from jungle to pans in the same park. It was expensive, $120 for the two of us for the 3 hour drive and park fees, but we were the only ones on the drive, didn't see any other people on the roads so it felt like a special adventure.

Magical place, very authentic African Safari experience. Accommodations were wonderful with good food and great service. The wildlife safaris and guides were fantastic. Very knowledgeable guides. Trip of a lifetime.

Wonderful National Park and wonderful people that tend to it. Everyone from the restaurant, cleaning, tour admin and guides were warm, attentive, and great to interact with and learn from. The park is full of magnificent wildlife which is easy enough to see when you stay over for several days in their lodge. I will always cherish the memories we made and people we met there! It's a 45min (small) plane ride from Beira.

The exceptional landscapes will change every few kilometers. The guide was amazing and we saw lots of antelopes, hipos, monkeys etc. A really cool experience. Btw the park is so so so big, so it's not easy to find lions or elephants. Another important point is that SELF DRIVING is not allowed. So be prepared to book a safari if you want to go in.

In my first trip to a safari I saw a large pack of elephants and it was an amazing experience. The guide was very helpful in telling us interesting facts about everything including the local fauna. He had worked there for 14 years and we could tell he cared for the park and the experience of the visitors. The scenery was amazing and I can understand why is in the times magazine top 100 places to visit

Amazing place!!! Breathtaking doesn't describe it! And Montebelo is the "cherry on top". Isabel Fernandes and Yannick are extremely good hosts. The rooms are superbly clean and staff is very friendly. Food is of a high standard and served promptly which is completely abnormal in the interior of Mozambique. This is definitely a MUST visit for all national and foreign tourists!
