Mozambique Safari Holidays

Mozambique safari holidays immerse you in varied and enigmatic landscapes which are home to countless wildlife species from sable and warthogs in Niassa Reserve to honking hippos in Gorongosa National Park. You’ll likely be able to catch glimpses of some of the Big Five too (usually lions and elephants), all while enjoying the unspoilt splendour of this vast and sprawling safari goer’s mecca. Below are a few of our top safari spots to visit:

Niassa Reserve: Safari-ing with a Difference

Niassa Reserve is the largest protected area in the country and one of the largest reserves in Africa. The miombo woodlands (characterised by subtropical grasslands, savannahs and shrublands) offer a stark contrast to the open landscapes of Kenya and Tanzania and the remote location promises fewer visitors and vehicles than other safari destinations – perfect for those seeking complete relaxation, seclusion and peace.

Explore Gorongosa National Park

Arguably the best wildlife safari spot in Mozambique - and perhaps Africa’s greatest wildlife restoration story of all time - is the sprawling Gorongosa National Park. The park is home to oribi, reedbuck, waterbuck, warthogs, sable antelopes, zebras and monkeys (to name a few) and there’s even some lions and elephants thrown in for good measure. Rivers wind through the planes and there are plenty of lakes and floodplains for hippos to wallow and crocodiles to lie in wait. But Big Five and animal spotting aside, this park has been a continued labour of love, championing conservation, community and sustainable tourism in a bid to revive it to its former glory and provide sanctuary for all its inhabitants
