Chicari Camp Gorongosa and Vilanculos – Safari & Beach Mozambique
Experience the ultimate bush and beach adventure with our exclusive nine-night package combining Gorongosa’s spectacular wildlife with the serenity of Mozambique’s Indian Ocean coast.
Begin your journey at the newly reimagined Chicari Camp in Gorongosa National Park—a seasonal safari retreat designed to immerse guests in one of Africa’s most untouched natural landscapes. Formerly known as Gorongosa Wild Camp, Chicari has been upgraded to offer an even more intimate and authentic safari experience.
This eco-conscious camp features eight spacious en-suite safari tents and two elevated treehide tents, perfect for families and couples seeking adventure. Each unit is outfitted with solar lighting, fine linens, and outdoor showers, offering modern comforts without compromising the wild.
Set beside Chicari Pan, a vast waterhole alive with wildlife, the camp is perfectly positioned for unforgettable animal encounters—from herds of elephants at dawn to prowling predators at dusk. Game drives, bush walks, and canoe safaris offer a deep connection to Mozambique’s remarkable biodiversity.
After four unforgettable nights in Gorongosa, fly directly to the coast for five nights at Vilanculos Beach Lodge, one of our top-rated seaside escapes. This laid-back yet stylish resort offers luxury chalets perched on stilts, framed by palms and endless ocean views.
Spend your days island-hopping to Bazaruto and Benguerra, snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs, or lounging by the pool with a cocktail in hand. Vilanculos is easy to access and ideal for travelers looking to combine nature, culture, and relaxation in one seamless itinerary.
