Tourism Concessions
We welcome inquiries from tourism operators interested in doing business in Gorongosa National Park and Sustainable Development Zone (Buffer Zone). As part of our long-term Management Plan, we are developing three basic zones:
Zone 1--Special Protection and Wilderness: no tourism allowed
Zone 2—Tourism Recreation: safari game drives, walking safaris, mountain biking, boating, fishing, birdwatching, caving, and a few other low-impact activities will be allowed. A road network and a few temporary facilities will be the only infrastructure developments in this zone.
Zone 3—Tourism Lodging: construction of permanent overnight tourist accommodations such as lodges, as well as restaurants and swimming pools, will be allowed after a full review and approval.
Once Mozambique’s Ministry of Tourism has approved our zoning plan, we will publish a list of available concessions. Permits will be awarded in a transparent, competitive basis. Some will automatically go to local communities near the park.
For updates on available concessions, check back here occasionally or subscribe to our eNewsletter.
Park Management Plan
The restoration project will be guided by a Park Management Plan jointly developed by staff, the government of Mozambique, and local communities. More>
