Gorongosa National Park

Gorongosa is celebrated as Africa’s greatest wildlife restoration story and one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Once nearly destroyed during years of conflict, the park has been transformed through the Gorongosa Restoration Project, a pioneering partnership focused on ‘rewilding’ landscapes and uplifting surrounding communities. Today, Gorongosa supports more than 100,000 large mammals and offers immersive safari experiences through Muzimu Lodge and Chicari Camp.

The impact of your stay: Very high

Your visit plays a vital role in sustaining the park’s conservation and community work. Park fees and levies directly fund wildlife protection, anti-poaching units, research, and habitat restoration. Tourism provides local employment, supports education, healthcare, and sustainable agriculture, and strengthens the relationship between communities and the park. Staying in Gorongosa helps protect its exceptional biodiversity while supporting long-term human development.

Azura Marlin Beach

Azura Marlin Beach is a barefoot boutique retreat on Benguerra Island, set along a pristine one kilometre stretch of white sand in the Bazaruto Archipelago Marine National Park. Once known as Marlin Lodge and now reimagined as part of the Azura Retreats collection, the property offers just 10 elegant villas blending beachside luxury with African and Portuguese influences. Warm Mozambican hospitality defines the experience, with days spent snorkelling, diving, fishing, exploring the island, or relaxing at the renowned Peri Peri Beach Club, shared with sister property Azura Benguerra Island.

The impact of your stay: Medium

Your visit directly supports the island’s community and conservation efforts. A voluntary contribution to The Rainbow Fund helps fund the island school, clinic, and over 20 educational scholarships, while sustainable sourcing supports local fishermen. Guests also pay the Bazaruto National Park fee, contributing to African Parks’ marine protection work. Azura Retreats is carbon-neutral and fully solar powered, ensuring your stay leaves a positive legacy on Benguerra Island.
