Niassa Game Reserve
Spanning an area of 42,000 square kilometres (10 million acres),
the Niassa Game Reserve is the largest protected area in
Mozambique, and one of the most pristine wilderness areas in the
whole of Africa. Twice the size of South Africa's famed Kruger
National Park, the Niassa Reserve boasts a high concentration (if
not massive variety) of wildlife, incredibly varied bird life, and
absolutely stunning natural scenery. Visitors to the Niassa Game
Reserve will be spellbound by the interesting and changing
landscape, ranging from mountain forests to miombo forests and
savannah grasslands - not to mention the high concentration of wild
animals, including 13,000 elephants, 200 endangered wild dogs,
lions, leopards and a huge assortment of birds. Tourists are urged
to visit between April and October, as this is the prime viewing
season. The best place to stay in the Niassa Reserve is definitely
the world-class Lugenda Wilderness Camp, which offers visitors
comfortable lodgings, game drives, hiking trails and incredible
star-gazing opportunities.
