General information

A safari to this area is to go where few have travelled. It is not a safari for first-timers only interested in seeing the Big 5- Lugenda is a journey of discovery for safari pioneers to an emerging photographic safari destination. Lugenda Wilderness Camp provides visitors with the true quality of wilderness that is rare to find on safari today. Located in the greater Niassa National Reserve in the remotest corner of northern Mozambique, Lugenda Wilderness Camp is set in one of the continent's 'last wild places'.

Lugenda’s close proximity to Mozambique’s Quirimbas Archipelago makes it perfect for a safari and beach combination stay. Spend a few nights here experiencing this remote wilderness area before flying down to one of the Qurimbas Islands for some rest and relaxation.

Intimate and understated yet offering every luxury you could wish for, Lugenda is the definitive wilderness camp experience. Accommodation at Lugenda comes in the form of eight luxury tents that blend seamlessly into their surroundings. The tents are extremely spacious and all feature en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers and a Victorian bathtub. Your private verandah is a great spot on which to sip on a cool drink and take in the views.

Location

Lugenda Wilderness Camp is situated within the pristine 42 000 square kilometer Niassa Reserve, located close to the Tanzanian border in far Northern Mozambique.

Rooms

The eight luxury tents are discreetly situated on the banks of the Lugenda River beneath towering fig trees, each with its own patio deck with wide-angle views. The tents have a solid substructure and blend beautifully into the natural surrounds whilst offering every modern comfort - from king-size beds to en-suite bathrooms with bath and shower, double basins, ceiling fans, personal safes and hairdryers.

Activities

Whether you are a photographer, birder, naturalist, or just enjoy getting in touch with nature in its rawest form, Lugenda Wilderness Camp is sure to fulfill your expectations. Experienced guides will take you out to explore this fascinating region and the wildlife it contains, by open safari vehicle, on foot, or a combination of both, depending on your expectations and interests. Of course part of the experience is to slow down and savour the true spirit of Mozambique wilderness. Ask you guide to take you night-frogging or to reveal the splendour of the southern skies over Niassa National Reserve.

Facilities

The camp features a scenic swimming pool overlooking the Lugenda River where one can relax and unwind. A lovely thatched main dining and bar area also features an excellent library. Lugenda also boasts an outdoor boma dining area where one is summoned to dinner by the call of an African drum.
