Why we Love Muzimu Tented Camp
The emphasis is on the guest, the ornithologists, conservationists, and true nature spirits who seek out an authentic wilderness experience because they want to.
Walking trails to meet real animals in their natural habitats and to take note of all the tiny critters scurrying along in the grass, trees, soil and wetlands.
Rare samango monkeys play in the rain forests around the spectacular Murombodzi waterfall, a stunning 100m-high drop rewarded with a refreshing swim in the pool below.
A vital contribution to the ecotourism vision of Gorongosa National Park and the sustainable tourism initiatives so important to Mozambique’s nature conservation.
Appreciate the solitude, the spiritual silences and the wildlife sanctuary at your fingertips - rejuvenation of soul and mind.
