Secluded Safari and Seaside Escape

This eight-day Mozambique safari combines Big 5 wildlife viewing in Gorongosa National Park with serene seaside relaxation at Sussurro. Your journey begins in Gorongosa, Africa's greatest restoration success story, where lions, elephants, buffalo and leopards roam the floodplains and forests freely. In fact, a recent aerial survey documented over 110,000 large animals in the national park. 

Every night you spend here directly funds the rangers and research keeping this conservation miracle alive, managed through a successful public-private partnership. The number of game drive vehicles allowed is also kept deliberately low, which not only makes the experience uncrowded but quieter. Watch the fascinating dynamics of the wildlife at play, from lions teaching their adorably brave cubs the ways of the wild, elephants crossing the Mussicadzi River at first morning light and scan the skies for over 400 bird species, so diverse it makes ornithologists abandon their field guides. 

After your safari adventures, retreat to Sussurro, a luxurious coastal sanctuary where life is governed by the gentle tidal rhythms. A calmness settles in your bones here, as you cruise on a traditional dhow sailboat on the glittering vastness of the ocean. One of our favourite activities is escaping to a deserted sandbar for island picnics. You’ll feel like you’re the only people on the planet! You can also delve a little deeper and give back by visiting local villages. 

Mozambique's southern tourism corridors are safe, vetted and designed for discerning travellers seeking transformation over transactions. It's an adventure of reverence over noise and depth over density. It’s eight days where you'll explore two worlds, and one turning point that leaves you feeling calmer, braver, and more alive.
