7-Days Mozambique Wildlife Explorer: 7-Day Premium Safari

Welcome to Mozambique! Upon arrival at Sofala, you'll be greeted by your Maasai Premium Safaris guide and transferred to your first luxury tented camp. Settle into your comfortable accommodation and enjoy a welcome briefing about the week ahead. As the sun begins to set, embark on your first evening game drive to acclimate to the rhythms of the African bush and spot early wildlife activity.

Rise before dawn for your first full day in Gorongosa National Park, one of Africa's most remarkable conservation success stories. Your expert guide will track wildlife through diverse habitats ranging from miombo woodland to savanna grasslands. Experience multiple game drives with strategic positioning for optimal wildlife viewing. This is prime territory for encountering elephants, buffalo, and other megafauna in their natural state.

Dedicate today to intensive wildlife exploration in the heart of Gorongosa's predator-rich zones. Your guide will use tracking expertise to locate lion prides, wild dogs, and other carnivores. The park's recovery has brought unprecedented wildlife densities, offering exceptional viewing opportunities. Multiple game drives allow for thorough exploration of different ecological zones and increased chances of rare sightings.

Today focuses on strategic positioning at key waterholes where wildlife congregates, particularly during dry seasons. This offers exceptional photography opportunities and intimate animal behavior observation. Gorongosa is also a birdwatcher's paradise with over 500 species recorded. Your guide will point out both common and rare avian species throughout the day's explorations.

Transfer to the lesser-known Chimio Wildlife Reserve, a pristine sanctuary offering authentic safari experiences with minimal tourist presence. This reserve showcases Mozambique's diverse habitats and wildlife populations. Enjoy exclusive game drives with your personal guide in this intimate setting. The reserve's tranquility provides a stark contrast to busier parks while maintaining excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.

Maximize your time in Chimio with full-day game drives exploring different zones of the reserve. Your guide will tailor activities based on wildlife sightings and your preferences. This day offers exceptional opportunities for photography, wildlife documentation, and undisturbed nature immersion. The reserve's lower visitor numbers mean more personal interaction with your guide and greater flexibility in tracking wildlife.

Enjoy a final morning game drive to maximize last-minute wildlife viewing before your departure. Return to camp for breakfast and pack your memories of this extraordinary Mozambique adventure. Transfer to Sofala for your onward journey, carrying with you the sights, sounds, and experiences of pristine African wilderness.
