Things to see and do Central

In the heart of the Gile Reserve, you must come fully equipped to camp, with all the necessary food, and ask for prior authorization from the administration of the Musseia camp. Otherwise, the reserve is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The best time is during the dry season from April to October, but to observe the birds, it is better to come during the rainy season, between November and March, when you will be able to witness the passage of the birds in migration.

Mount Gorongosa joined the park in early 2011. The Park Restoration Project stressed the need to preserve the ecosystem of this 1,862 m mountain. It is easy to climb and the landscape is splendid from its coffee plantations. The Rangers organize the journey from A to Z. Bird watchers come here to hike to surprise some rare species. A guide is obligatory to run on the sides of this mountain because it is sacred. He will help you find the right path, and share the tales of Gorongosa.

From the top of its 2,419 m, Mount Namuli rises up and offers many hiking possibilities. But nothing's marked out. Before venturing out blindly, ask the villagers, as the risk of landmines persists. It's best not to go too far off the beaten track. The best is to be accompanied by a Macua guide, the ethnic group whose territory it is. Mount Namuli is a sacred deity for them and there are many legends and anecdotes about it. Take the opportunity to visit the surrounding tea plantations. What a setting!
