Gorongosa National Park

Gorongosa National Park, located in central Mozambique, is a significant conservation area that spans approximately 1,570 square miles. Known for its diverse ecosystems, the park encompasses grasslands, savannas, and floodplains, creating a rich habitat for a wide range of species. After years of decline due to civil war, restoration efforts have brought back a flourishing population of elephants, lions, and various antelope species. Birdwatchers flock here to spot rare birds like the African green pigeon and the crowned crane. Visitors can explore the park through guided safaris, walking trails, and canoe trips, providing a close encounter with its vibrant wildlife. The park's commitment to community involvement and sustainable tourism has made it a model for conservation success in Africa.
