What's this trip about?

    A land of contrasts – remote bush, magnificent beaches and underwater wonderlands. This tour combines two of the country’s best experiences: a safari in the Gorongosa National Park, as well as beach time on stunning Vamizi Island. The greater Gorongosa region is ecologically unique. Situated at the southernmost end of the Great African Rift Valley, this park is home to a great diversity of animals and plants, some of which are found nowhere else in the world. There is an excellent population of African elephant and lions, plus the rarely seen fire squirrels of the rainforest. Vamizi Island is the most stunning in a series of islands located off the coast of Mozambique. Diving is good all year, and the crystal-clear waters never drop below 77 degrees. Most of the reefs are in pristine condition and lie close to the shore. They offer a profusion of colorful soft corals which are host to some of the most amazing marine life in the world. Whether you snorkel or scuba dive, the remote island experience will be long remembered!
