Montebelo Gorongosa Lodge & Safari

Top choice in Mozambique


Located at Chitengo park headquarters, Montebelo has lovely comfortable rooms in rondavels or standard blocks. Count on hot water, soap, mosquito nets and night-time coffee. It also offers the opportunity to organise 'fly camps', depositing you deep in the bush with your own tent and guide (US$500 per person for two nights including flight, meals and guide).

The expansive, grassy compound has a pool, a kids' play area and the occasional warthog plodding through. Staff and researchers mingle with guests in the excellent restaurant (mains Mtc400-650). You can organise all park activities here.
