Muzimu Lodge

Mozambique, Nationaal Park Gorongosa

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.
