Lugenda Wilderness Camp
A safari to this area is to go where few have travelled. It is not a safari for those only interested in seeing the Big 5; it 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. Located in the greater Niassa National Reserve in the remotest corner of northern Mozambique, a safari to Lugenda is a journey for the fortunate few to one of Africa's most exclusive wilderness destinations.
Experienced guides will take you out by open vehicle to explore the reserve for as long as you wish each day. Bird lovers will revel in the opportunity to spot up to 370 bird species, including the rare Angola Pitta and Pel's Fishing Owl, as well as abundant raptors. The area is home to at least 3 recently discovered endemic species: the Niassa wildebeest, Boehm's zebra and Johnston 's impala; as well as elephant, sable antelope, Cape buffalo, Lichtenstein's hartebeest and eland occur here. Niassa also provides one of the last safe havens in Africa for the African wild dog) and is populated with other predators such as lion, leopard and hyena. General game comprises kudu, bushbuck, impala, wildebeest, waterbuck, reedbuck and hippo. For those who prefer more intimate encounters with the Mozambique bush, guides will take you out walking in the early mornings or late afternoons to avoid the midday sun. Here you can explore the smaller flora and fauna and really absorb the sights, sounds and many hidden delights of the Niassa bush. |
