Expedition Camp

Start Planning

Setting the Scene

Perfect for the private adventurer (Indiana Jones-types who shun the Spielberg film crew), Expedition Camp is an exclusive-use, full-service mobile camp with only a little monkey’s handful of bookings available each year. Snag one of these opportunities and it could be you and your family or friends fly camping around Gorongosa National Park’s floodplains, rivers and woodlands, with an itinerary tailored to your specific weird vibes.

Into the Wild

Spend the days in a private vehicle or on foot with your guide – tracking lions, tiptoeing around herds of skittish zebras, begging that jazzy lilac-breasted roller to stay there for just one– …damn. 

Expedition Camp guests get exclusive access to the enormous Bunga Plains, home to herds of grass-guzzling antelopes and ever-watchful predators skulking around the edges. You can also explore the park’s cave systems with its secret chambers – all that’s missing is some kind of cursed artefact. 

Cool Camping

After a day of wild galivanting, return to camp – you’ll be sleeping in basic expedition tents designed to blend into the woodlands with views across the plains you can enjoy over a generously poured gin and tonic. After dark, safe and snug in your tent, listen for lion roars or hyena whoops in the distance. This is safari at its most spine-tinglingly immersive.
