Reaching the summit of the mystical Mount Gorongosa is like stepping through a portal into a hidden world. Lush Moist Evergreen Forest and gorgeous waterfalls greet the adventurer. With several peaks reaching 1,800 meters above sea level, the Gorongosa Mountain system is startlingly beautiful, made more so by its seclusion. Hundreds of bird and plant species have been recorded on Mount Gorongosa, some of which can be found nowhere else on earth.
