Join me on an unforgettable adventure as I explore the breathtaking beauty of Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. I have been wanting to visit this park my entire life, and the safari in Gorongosa lived up to my expectations!
Gorongosa is an incredible story, a once great park, with a higher animal density than any where else in Africa, that was devastated by poaching during the civil war in Mozambique, and is now on the come back!
In this bumper episode I spend 4 days exploring the park, going on daily game drives, and a bush walk. My brilliant guide Castro gives me an insight into the complex environmental project that is underway in the park.
I hope you all enjoy the episode, and let me know if you enjoy the longer format?

Absolutely stunning storytelling. This has definitely inspired me to go to Gorongosa soon. Looking forward to see the adventures in chimanimani.

@LostinAfrica Год назад

Thank you!!

Conheci a Gorogosa antes da guerra civil, e sei como ficou devastada depois dela. O trabalho de recuperação feito, graças ao empenho do filantropo Greg, e toda a equipa envolvida, é um bom exemplo que deveria ser seguido por alguns Países de África, nomeadamente Angola, que sofreu, e ainda sofre a devastação do seu valioso património faunístico, mais sustentável para as gerações futuras, do que o petróleo ou diamantes. Os meus Parabéns ao Autor, por divulgar este magnífico renascimento.

@LostinAfrica Год назад

Muito obrigado Vasco, english translation of your interesting comment. I knew Gorogosa before the civil war, and I know how devastated it was afterward. The recovery work done, thanks to the commitment of the philanthropist Greg, and the entire team involved, is a good example that should be followed by some African countries, namely Angola, which suffered, and still suffers, the devastation of its valuable faunal heritage, more sustainable for future generations than oil or diamonds. Congratulations to the Author, for promoting this magnificent renaissance.

In the mid 1960's we went on an Italian cruise ship "THE AFRICA " from Cape Town to Beira and LM. My dad had to get special permission for me to join a group from the ship which travelled in 2 mini vans to Gorongosa. Special permission because the war was on between Portugal and the commies.I was about 7 or 8 yrs old. We saw lions at a kill and pulled up next to a huge bull elephant. The Portuguese driver opened the drivers side window and clapped his hands infront of the elephant. I still hear the Italian nurse from the ship yelling "MAMA MIA " at this.. After the war most of the animals in Gorongosa were slaughtered. Lets hope they are allowed to make a recovery.

@LostinAfrica Год назад

What an incredible journey that must have been! My love for traveling africa started at a similar age!

@raydanielz9408 Год назад

It was a war between the Mozambiqueans and the occupiers/settlers, S🕳️. 😡

Great video Tim. I first visited Gorongosa in 1973 when I was a student at UCT. We drove up from Cape Town in a VW Beetle and camped. We did plenty of self drives and were amazed by the huge numbers of hippos. We saw lions in the Lion House. The war was raging so we were lucky to be there. I next visited in 2013. Fortunately we were still able to do self drives then. The game numbers were tiny compared with my visit in 1973. However, it was great to see the rebuilding work going on. The birding was excellent. Keep up the wonderful videos.

Reassurring and pleasing to see this ecosystem slowly recovering in the 21st century after the long chaos of 20th century war. A major step forward for Mozambique and African wildlife.. Where next? ...South Sudan perhaps?

@RhettandClaire Год назад

Brilliant story telling, Tim! Absolutely loved watching this. Very sad to hear about the war and how it affected the park but its wonderful to hear its on the rise again! Also loved the humour from the rangers😃

WOW, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth... I'm captivated by the scenes of Gorongosa's prolific biodiversity that Tim presented here, and now I want to go see Gorongosa for myself one day. With this beautiful and multifaceted restoration, I consider Greg Carr a WORLD HERO!!! 🔥💯🐘🦁

Remarkable representation of the park Tim! This kind of positive Overlanding experience/reporting is what we need. You and Bruce are doing great things to showcase what Overlanding really should be about - the people and the wild life OF the PLACE! Keep it up.

I loved every aspect of this video, seeing you achieve a childhood dream to watching you in editing action. The elephant footage was just phenomenal and beautifully captured with the highest of respect. I really enjoy your story telling as there is such passion and vast knowledge behind it all. What you do to make others aware of the wild life in Africa is rather amazing.

So glad you found the elephants! However, it breaks my heart that these amazing creatures been emotionally scarred and traumatised by dumb humans. I hope in time this beautiful park can fully recover. But, Who can blame them for being so aggressive!

@LostinAfrica Год назад

I can not wait to go back to the park, they’re making such incredible progress. It is terrible that it was so bad for so long, but unfortunately that’s not an uncommon story in africa.

Amazing work Tim, and thank you for showcasing this part of the world that has almost been forgotten due to our selfishness. I only came to know about this park after watching this video. Thank you for the background story and that final elephant Matriarch footage absolutely convinced me of what these beautiful animals have gone through - incredible story telling.

I guess it depends on the business model they go after. I think at this point they are probably pushing harder to pursue a Botswana style high yield revenue model, but I am just guessing.

@andredejager484 Год назад

Great video. Just one concern, if you got large predators in the park surely they should have introduced hyena and jackal already .It's an imbalance in nature .

@LostinAfrica Год назад

They have since i was there! I think there was so much that needed to be reintroduced that it would be impossible to do it all at once. The Lions never went extinct, so i guess they are trying to restore the balance around them.

@jacobussteyn7062 Год назад

There's no big tuskers between those ellies they must have witnessed their dad's being shot that's why they are traumatized 😢😢😢😢

No there are a few herds, the website says it is up to 800, from a population of 200 that survived the war.
