About the Property

Inside Gorongosa National Park

Montebelo Gorongosa Lodge & Safari sits at Chitengo, the main camp inside Gorongosa National Park, and Expedia describes it as a one-minute walk from the park. The park's own site, gorongosa.org, lists it as Montebelo at Gorongosa. That makes it an in-park base for game drives, guided hikes and canoe safaris across the floodplains.

Accommodation ranges from Premium and Standard Villas with two private bedrooms to Premium and Standard Bungalows and a Garden Room near the Chikalango restaurant. The Standard Villa has a full kitchen. There is also a campsite with bathroom facilities, a shower area, a grill and a communal covered area. Facilities include two pools, one for adults and one for children, a spa, and a bar with a thatched terrace.

Restaurante Chikalango serves international cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Activities such as game drives, hikes to see hippos and elephants, bird watching on Mount Gorongosa and a hike to the Murombozi River waterfall all cost extra. Expedia lists the lodge as closed from 1 December to 15 March.
