Muzimu Tented Camp

Book your once-in-a-lifetime Mozambique safari to the all-new Muzimu Tented Camp in iconic Gorongosa National Park, the country’s magnificent natural treasury, and stay in 6 stylish tented suites raised on neat private decks. 

Find the new intimate Muzimu Tented Camp merging into the surrounding bushveld trees and lush vegetation of Gorongosa National Park, elevated on timber stilts for minimal environmental impact. Connecting walkways lead guests to their canvas sanctuaries, each tent offering a gorgeous view of the river from the outside deck.

Stay at the first-ever Mozambique safari lodge in ‘Turismo da Gorongosa’ and be the first to sample exquisite views into the 4000 square km park on the banks of the Mussicadzi River. Come and explore this rehabilitated reserve at the very tip of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, on game drives and bush walks into diverse and mind-blowing ecosystems and landscapes.

We love this first-class experience in nature, in true glamping style, a blend of rustic chic safari accommodation in central Mozambique. A first for Gorongosa in more ways than one – all six East African tents boast ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning and stylish safari furnishings in an intimate bush context. Join fellow nature lovers in the communal main tent to enjoy the bar and soft seating areas and watch the animals come to drink. Elephants share the refreshing plunge pool with you and its stunning outlooks over the Mussicadzi River. 

Guided game drives and walks are a real treat but so too are visits to local villages with informative introductions and interactions. See the visionary conservation-biased restoration and community projects within the Park and its varied sustainability projects. Gorongosa was recently described as one of Africa’s greatest wildlife renewal stories and now you can personally witness life-changing conservation and community projects, and biodiversity research as a special Voyage2Africa guest on your safari to Mozambique.

Overview

The new and authentic Muzimu Tented Camp perches on the Mussicadzi River in Gorongosa National Park, one of Africa’s last great wilderness areas in diverse Mozambique. Muzimu means “Guardian Spirit”, an apt name for this new tented camp that forms part of the visionary conservation and restoration project set up with huge passion by Greg Carr.  

The success of the first 20 years of this restoration project has seen a real demand for safari accommodation in Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park and Voyage2Africa is delighted to be able to showcase the new Muzimu Tented Camp here as part of our best-selling package deals to Mozambique’s best safari and beach destinations.

This new intimate tented camp boasts only 6 East African-styled tents raised on private wooden decks with ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning and stylish safari furnishings. All canvas chalets feature king-size extra-length or twin beds, mosquito screens, tea-/coffee-making facilities, ceiling fans, and international outlets. 

Enjoy a cold drink at the bar or sink into the soft sofas with a hot coffee in the communal main tent and watch the animals come to drink. Cool off in the refreshing plunge pool overlooking the Mussicadzi River, a drinking spot popular with elephants, hippos and other charismatic species.

Muzimu Tented Eco Camp blends into the surrounding vegetation of Gorongosa National Park and is raised on wooden stilts for minimal impact on the riverine trees and shrubs, birds and biodiversity. Saunter along neat connecting walkways to between tent sanctuaries and meals. Each tent has a gorgeous view of the river from the outside deck.

Guests at Gorongosa are not only treated to guided game drives and walks but also experience visits to local villages with informative introductions and interaction and see for themselves the visionary conservation-biased restoration and community projects within the Park, its scientific research centre and its fantastic game rangers, masters students and conservation partners.
