Mozambique Game Reserves :: overview

Bordering Kruger National Park and bounded by both the Limpopo and Olifants Rivers, with the mighty Shingwedzi flowing through its heart, Parque Nacional do Limpopo is populated with a wide range of wildlife and boasts breathtaking scenery. This awe-inspiring adventure is more accessible than ever before. Entry is now possible from South Africa via border posts located in Kruger National Park at Giriyondo, just north of Letaba, or Pafuri in the north-east at Crook’s Corner. Access to the Park from Moçambique is via Massingir dam in the south or Mapai in the east.

 

Mozambique’s three national parks include the Gorongosa National Park, the Maputo Elephant Park and the Marromeu National Park. The flagship is Gorongosa National Park, in central Mozambique, which is currently being rehabilitated in a large scale project spearheaded by the Carr Foundation, a US non profit organization, and the Mozambique Government.

 

Together they are working to not only protect and restore ecosystem of the Park, but also to develop an ecotourism industry that will benefit the local communities. The reintroduction of large numbers of bulk grazers has been in operation since 2006 to complement and grow the existing population of wildlife, including lions and other carnivores, that already roam the great expanse of the Gorongosa National Park.
