LUGENDA WILDERNESS CAMP
Located in northern Mozambique, covering parts of Cabo Delgado Province and nearly one third of Niassa Province, the Niassa Reserve core area of 22 000km² is bordered by the Rovuma River in the north (Tanzania border), Lugenda River in southeast, Luatize River, southwest and Lussanhando River in the west. A buffer area of 20 000km², which was divided in six management concessions, is also part of the Niassa Reserve.
The Niassa Reserve in Mozambique is twice the size of the Kruger National Park and with just 8 luxury East-African styled tents, Lugenda Wilderness Camp is a destination for the discerning few. Only recently opened to photographic safaris, this is one of the last wild places on the African continent untrammeled by man. It is not a safari for first-timers only interested in seeing the Big 5, it is a journey of discovery for pioneers to an emerging safari destination.
Lugenda Wilderness Camp provides visitors with the true quality of wilderness that is rare to find today. On walks and game drives guests experience raw Africa at its wildest, but within the confines of camp guests are cosseted and pampered.
Stylish tents, a scenic swimming pool, fascinating guides, shady guest areas and views over the river keep guests content for hours.
The camp consists of a main building housing a reading lounge area, self service bar and dining area.On either side of the main building, are four East African-styled luxury tents – no more than 40 meters from the Lugenda River. The main pool is directly in front of the main building, virtually on the banks of the Lugenda River.
Accommodation consists of 8 luxury East African-style tents, 6 x Kings and 2 x Twins. All tents are fully mosquito-screened and have an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower, ceiling fan, hair dryer, safe and wooden viewing deck. The tents have a concrete screed floor with individual Victorian styled deep tub and shower. The tents are situated underneath large wild fig trees, which attract wild Elephant during the early morning and late afternoon.
