Mozambique - Featured Trips

Moja Safari Wilderness is an exclusive privately-managed concession within the vast Niassa National Reserve, Mozambique's largest protected conservation area. Situated in Northern Mozambique's remote Lugenda Valley, close to the border with Tanzania and within easy air access of the luxurious island retreats of the Quirimbas archipelago, Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve, Lake Malawi and Dar es Salaam.

The Moja Explore Experience is an incredible walking and canoeing journey through one of the last remaining true wild places in Africa. These up-market tented safaris start at the Mbamba village, a remote and ancient community on the banks of the Lugenda River, and conclude at the mystical Moja SkyBeds, some 30kms downstream. The unique appeal of these safaris is the experience of real wilderness, uncultivated by mass commercialization. Incorporating intuitive encounters with Niassa's unique wildlife, scenic wild places and the communities living within the reserve.

The itineraries are flexible and subject to change depending on guest's interests. The following basic guideline gives you a sample of the type of experience you can expect on a three-night adventure.

Moja is seasonally restricted due to heavy rains over the late local summer. This safari is available from June to the 15th November. The months of July to September are the coolest and driest months, whilst October has some of the better game-viewing around the river. Best birding is early or late in the season, whilst best canoeing is generally in the first few months of the season, and in December.

This safari can be combined with a beach destination like Guludo Beach Lodge in the Quirimbas, or the historical Ibo Island in Northern Mozambique. Please Contact Us for more information.
