Chitengo Safari Camp
First constructed in 1941, Chitengo hosted thousands of visitors from all over the world until 1983, 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 Chitengo Camp, 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.
Cabanas
We currently have 9 modern and comfortable double cabanas located in a tranquil area of Chitengo, for a total of 18 separate rooms, each with 2 single beds or 1 double bed. All have mosquito netting, en-suite toilets, air-conditioning, and thatch chairs. Maximum occupancy: 2 persons.
Camping
The campsite is being refurbished and is not available at the moment. Camping will be available again soon.
Conferences
By 2009 we will have a conference centre that seats 75 people as well as a new restaurant and kitchen that seats 150 people.
Restaurant
Chitengo Safari Camp has a reasonably priced bar and restaurant serving authentic Mozambican breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Breakfast is included in the price of the cabanas.
We are proud to feature many locally grown organic vegetables on our menu to provide you with fresher, healthier foods and to help support the local communities near Chitengo. Click here for more information about this program.
