Where wild gets personal: Visit Gorongosa National Park in 2026.

New camps, night drives, pangolins and purpose — your next great African safari starts here.

Gorongosa National Park is now open and Gorongosa Safaris is brimming with fresh ways for visitors to experience one of Africa’s most inspiring wild places in 2026.

New this year: Expedition Camp for a wilder, more immersive stay. Night drives from Muzimu Lodge and Chicari Camp will reveal the park’s secret after-dark world. Behind-the-scenes visits with the Park change-makers reveal how they safeguard a million acres of wilderness. For guests staying five nights or more, there’s an unforgettable chance to walk with rehabilitating pangolins as they forage at dawn — conservation in action, just steps away.

Dreaming bigger? Pair the bush with the turquoise waters of the Bazaruto Archipelago on a seamless Bush and Beach escape. Or stay a little longer with Stay 5, Pay 4 and Stay 7, Pay 5 packages designed to let the experience fully unfold.

Gorongosa Park’s story continues to reach audiences worldwide, most recently through a two-part BBC Travel segment featuring the Park’s wildlife, conservation, and human development work. Learn more.

One Health

New teaching hospital in Sofala Province will link conservation, community wellbeing, and One Health in action.

The Gorongosa Restoration Project and Ministério da Saúde de Moçambique have signed an agreement to build a 100-bed public teaching hospital and integrated health campus in Sofala Province, serving rural communities in Gorongosa.

One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that recognizes that the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems are deeply interconnected and mutually dependent. Rather than treating these domains separately, One Health promotes coordinated action across disciplines, sectors, and institutions to sustainably optimize health outcomes for people, wildlife, livestock, and the environment.

It’s a natural extension of Gorongosa’s One Health approach — recognizing that healthy ecosystems and healthy communities go hand in hand. Learn more.

“From climate-smart infrastructure to low-resource technology, the hospital will be a model for rural healthcare delivery in Africa.”

Degrees of the wild: Mozambican conservation graduates are ready to lead.

Gorongosa’s one-of-a-kind Master’s in Conservation Biology program celebrates its 4th graduating class.

Congratulations to the 12 newest graduates of the Gorongosa National Park Master’s in Conservation Biology program.

Like the students before them, these graduates will teach, mentor and lead environmental and wildlife conservation efforts across Mozambique and around the world.

The program is led by a five-member consortium which includes the Park, three universities—Universidade Lúrio, a Universidade Zambeze, e o Instituto Superior Politécnico de Manica in partnership with Universidade de Lisboa and support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Together, these partners ensure strong teaching and high-quality research projects. Watch the video and learn more.

Bringing added value closer to home.

New coffee factory powers farmers, fuels partnerships and puts sustainability to work.

A new coffee processing plant is set to transform the coffee value chain in the Gorongosa Mountains. Located at the Gorongosa Agro-Industrial Complex, the factory is designed to boost exports, raise incomes for smallholder farmers, and anchor long-term economic growth in communities surrounding Gorongosa National Park.

Backed by €20 million from the Dutch Embassy, the factory is part of a broader sustainable development program that blends economic ambition with social impact. Beyond coffee, the initiative supports women and youth, strengthens family farming, and invests in education programs like those at Samora Moisés Machel Primary School in Púnguè.

It’s a bold recipe: restore biodiversity, empower communities, and make Gorongosa coffee a force for prosperity—locally rooted, globally connected. Learn more.

Gorongosa Project distributes 20 tons of corn seed to families affected by floods.

More than 4,000 families across six districts will share 20 tons of maize seed to restore crops destroyed by floods in Sofala Province.

Families from Bebedo in Nhamatanda District were among the hardest hit when the Púnguè River overflowed, destroying agricultural fields, homes, and community property. Many people sought refuge in churches and resilient schools built by the Gorongosa Restoration Project.

Plans include providing technical assistance, crop monitoring and using model fields for teaching successful agricultural practices and strategies for increased productivity.

The seed distribution project is led by Gorongosa National Park/the Gorongosa Restoration Project, and KAYA SEEDS. Learn more.
