Overview of Muzimu Lodge

Mozambique, Gorongosa National Park

Tucked away in a riverine forest on the edge of an oxbow lake, Muzimu Lodge offers an intimate retreat into one of Mozambique's most celebrated eco-transformations. Gorongosa National Park is widely regarded as one of Africa's greatest wildlife restoration stories. This region now shines as a beacon of the country’s conservation efforts, boasting a million acres of pristine wilderness. The park has become home to thriving populations of lion, antelope, elephant and pangolin.

Gorongosa is globally recognised as one of the most biodiverse places on earth, showcasing a wide-range of ecosystems and varied microclimates creating an unforgettable safari experience. As you traverse undulating savannah biomes on guided walking safaris, you'll witness large herds of antelope as they cross the plains, while boating excursions (available in the early green season) see you navigating winding rivers teeming with hippos and crocodiles. Game drives will bring you closer to key sightings, with the chance to spot wild dogs as they traverse among the thickets of the bush.

Muzimu Lodge is ideal for guests seeking a blend of luxury, adventure, and ecological discovery. With access to the Gorongosa Coffee Project, you'll get to enjoy coffee-tasting alongside a picnic lunch at the waterfall and learn about the forest restoration project. You'll also have the opportunity to visit the passionate scientists at the E.O. Wilson Lab, who are responsible for documenting and tracking the park's wildlife, creating a truly unique safari experience. Through years of meticulous fieldwork, the E.O. Wilson Lab team has revealed Gorongosa as a biodiversity stronghold – recording vast numbers of species, uncovering new discoveries, identifying unique endemics, and supporting conservation research for numerous at-risk species.

When I chose Mozambique and the Gorongosa area it was based on seeing the Greg Clark 60 Minutes’ documentary. I can now say that the experience was well beyond my expectations. First, the land in the Gorongosa area is beautiful and varied. The Muzimu Tented Camp was first rate in the accommodations, food preparation, guides and total staff. My family was able to see many different wildlife as well as other experiences such as visiting the main camp with its research labs and visiting a beautiful waterfall going through towns and seeing all the children greeting us with waving hands and excitement.

After many trips to Africa, I will recommend that you can and should put Mozambique on your destination list.

Thank you once again for a very special memorable family trip.
