Gorongosa once ranked among Africa’s most wildlife-dense reserves, before Mozambique’s civil war decimated its population by 95%. Concerted conservation efforts have led to a remarkable recovery, and the park is once again teeming with wildlife such as elephants, hippos, and various species of antelope. Additionally, Gorongosa is home to unique species like the pygmy chameleon, found only in the dry montane forests of Mount Gorongosa.  A new lodge has been established, providing comfortable and convenient accommodations for visitors. The lodge serves as a base from which guests can embark on 4×4 game drives to explore the park’s largely untapped wilderness.

Mozambique Island and the Quirimbas Archipelago blend history, culture, and natural beauty, ideal for immersive family holidays. Mozambique Island features cobbled streets and historic sites, including the Sao Sebastian Fort, Africa’s oldest fort. Families can snorkel, enjoy dhow cruises, or picnic on secluded beaches.

The Quirimbas Archipelago offers a relaxed swim-eat-sleep rhythm across 32 islands with a few small lodges. Each island has unique attractions: Medjumbe boasts vibrant coral reefs, Quilaluia features ancient baobabs, and Ibo Island showcases rich cultural heritage through historic architecture.

Off the coast of Mozambique lies Bazaruto, home to Africa’s largest marine reserve, which safeguards its warm turquoise waters and the rich diversity of its aquatic life. This protected area spans five stunning islands—Bazaruto, Benguerra, Magaruque, Santa Carolina (also known as Paradise Island), and Banque—each offering idyllic beaches perfect for sunbathing and relaxation.
