Description:

The Explore Gorongosa experience is hosted from an exclusive semi-permanent tented camp situated in a beautiful private operational area within the Gorongosa National Park.  They can also take you out for a night or two at our light wilderness fly-camp, known as the Gorongosa SkyBeds, which we set up at a few stunning sites in and around the Park such as at the Murombodzi waterfalls and on top of Mount Gorongosa.

Each suite has an alfresco 'en tent' bathroom comprising an eco-waterless loo and a fantastic wash-in-the-wild shower designed to give you privacy and a feeling of freedom all at the same time.  Doubles or twin singles are available with snug down duvets and cotton linen and towels of highest quality (although for the sake of the yaks, we unfortunately do not have yak-milk-soaked Mongolian cotton!)  One of our main aims in the design of the camp was to have as much of it home-made as possible.  Apart from the odd bit here and there, we like to think we have achieved this, right down to Mrs Janisch's home-made plum jam which, on a loaf of freshly baked pot-bread, goes down faster than a homesick mole.

The eating, chillaxing and social area of the camp features an open-air library and lounge, as well as a spacious canvas mess tent for general...er...mess, when the weather is not too friendly.  Dining takes place pretty much anywhere it is requested with the focus on excellent taste and even better company.  If one wishes to get away from the high energy pursuits of lounging, dining, sleeping or abluting, there are hammocks to swing in, trees to climb, and a campfire to muse over... all in all, Explorers is an experience within an experience.  And that’s the way the managers intend to keep it.


Conservation & Community:

Explore Gorongosa is part of a much larger restoration project funded by the The Carr Foundation. The foundation is a U.S. not-for-profit organization, that has teamed with the Government of Mozambique to protect and restore the ecosystem of Gorongosa National Park and to develop an ecotourism industry to benefit local communities.  In January, 2008, the  Foundation signed a 20-year contract with the Government to co-manage the Park.  This long-term commitment to work together followed a 3 1/2 year period of restoration activities that were conducted under a Memorandum of Understanding.

The foundations is training a revitalized anti-poaching team and rebuilding park infrastructure. We are conducting biological monitoring including a large herbivore count, carnivore survey, fish survey and vegetation map. We are creating a permanent biological research center in the park that will not only advance scientific understanding but also provide education and employment opportunities to Mozambicans.
