Girassol Gorongosa Lodge & Safari

The initial camp in Chitengo was constructed in 1941 and hosted thousands of visitors from all over the world until 1981, when Mozambique’s civil war shut it down. It was mostly destroyed during the war, but re-opened in 1995. We are now restoring and rebuilding it with many modern conveniences.

 

As part of our continuing effort to improve and expand our facilities and accommodations at Girassol Gorongosa Lodge & Safari, we are undertaking some construction activities that may, during some daytime hours, interrupt the normal tranquility of some parts of Chitengo.  Please bear with us as we work to make Chitengo an even better place from which to base your Gorongosa experience.
