Gorongosa National Park
Gorongosa National Park is a protected region in central Mozambique's Great Rift Valley. Lions, hippos, and elephants live in their woods and savannahs. Thousands of aquatic birds flock to Lake Urema and its adjacent marshes and waterways. Murombodzi Falls, a multi-tiered waterfall on the slopes of Mount Gorongosa, cascades over jagged rocks. Cheringoma Plateau is defined by limestone gorges and bat-infested caverns.
Gorongosa National Park has an area of about 4000 square kilometers and is home to a diverse range of vegetation and fauna. The park, which is divided into many altitude ranges and habitats, is home to iconic African creatures such as elephants, lions, hippos, and antelopes. Gorongosa's vibrant character is formed by grassy plains, woodlands, lakes, and river systems.
Bring your binoculars and keep an eye out for amazing birds like the bee-eater, crowned crane, and majestic African fish eagle. Gorongosa National Park is home to a variety of species that can't be found anywhere else, including birds, reptiles, and insects. For decades, conservation efforts have been made to conserve this particular portion of Mozambique. A vehicle safari, guided walking trip, or kayak tour along the flowing rivers are the finest ways to go about this area.
