Safaris in Mozambique
Why Mozambique offers the best and most unique safaris in Southern Africa!A truly unique safari adventure in Africa
Mozambique is best known for its spectacular coastline and idyllic islands, but did you know that Mozambique also has the Big Five and is an increasingly exciting safari destination?
There are, beyond many, 3 reasons why a safari in Mozambique is truly unique.
3 reasons why a safari in Mozambique is truly unique
- You will meet very few other people on safari as Mozambique is still unknown, meaning in some places you have the wilderness almost to yourself. This is truly special.
- Mozambique is a prime example of why conservation is about so much more than simply protecting wildlife. It is about restoring entire ecosystems, wildlife restoration, reducing poaching, and ensuring that local communities also benefit. ALL National Parks in Mozambique were left pretty much empty after the civil war. Now they have all bee restored in their former glory. To experience that as one of the first is pretty amazing.
- Mozambique is one of the few places in Africa where you can combine safaris with OCEAN safaris, legendary beaches, superb diving and snorkelling and the warm Indian Ocean.
There are wonderful possibilities for pairing a bush experience with time on the coast. From Gorongosa to Vilanculos and the Bazaruto Archipelago, you can combine unforgettable wildlife experiences with turquoise waters, pristine beaches and some of the Indian Ocean’s most exclusive island retreats.

Highlights
1. Unique Safaris in Gorongosa National Park
Remote, wild, varied, breathtakingly beautiful. Staying in and experiencing Gorongosa is an unforgettable experience in what's called Africa's greatest restoration project. Choose for the more affordable main camp or the exclusive safari lodges right in the middle of the park. Gorongosa is truly unique.
2. Visit Mount Gorongosa and the rainforest
Explore Gorongos's unique ecosystems and visit spectacular mount Gorongosa with a view on the floodplains. Here you will visit the Gorongosa coffee project, an inspiring local community project and home of Mozambique's best coffee (I drink it at home!). Take a dip in the deep clear pools of the waterfalls and let yourself amaze by nature.
3. Exclusive Boat Safari Lake Urema
A boat safari on Lake Urema in the heart of Gorongosa's vast wilderness - home of huge crocodiles, hippos is just indescribably incredible.
4. The Bazaruto Archipelago & Vilanculos
Start or relax at the end from your intense safari experiences in Unique Mozambique's home base Vilanculos with a relaxing 5 night stay in Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel. This is a laid-back small-scale and locally owned Boutique hotel facing the famous Bazaruto Archipelago. A (private or group) daytrip to one of the islands of the Archipelago is included in your stay.
Visit Bazaruto, the biggest and most popular island, or opt for the uninhabited Santa Carolina (Paradise Island) with its pristine snorkeling from the beach and a popular nesting ground for sea turtles.
Or go for a true Robinson Crusoe experience on minuscule island of Bangué, the smallest of the enchanting islands.
5. Holistic organic spa treatments & massages
Did you know that Mozambique is a secret haven for natural beneficial plants and fruits such as coconut, moringa and the juice of the Baobab which contains 6 times more Vitamine C than for example oranges?
Indulge in luxurious spa treatments in the Spa of Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel using locally sourced organic oils and ingredients and enjoy the local fruits, juices and food.
