点评:Gorongosa is a unique Natural Park that deserves a long visit. For someone used to South African parks it is a completely different experience: no tar roads, no self-drive and very little people, you have the animals all to yourself and a feeling of really being in the bush.
If you have the luck to meet Monti you will be guided by a wonderful and knowledgeable person that will help you spot rare birds and will share the human stories behind the rebirth of Gorongosa. We must support this project because of the way it approaches conservancy as a hole including communities and development. It is not a big 5 park: they barely have wildebeest or zebras, no giraffes and we did not see buffalos but we saw lions, elephants and surprisingly waterbucks, reedbucks and oribi are in high numbers. It is a park for real nature lovers, not an amusement park nor a zoo. It is an unexpected place with a very rich birdlife and stunning diversity and beauty of landscape, it just needs to better some details that South African parks have well organised like the comfort for people self-catering: we missed a small shop with basic food, a proper braai, a table in our great tent and a maybe a small fridge . And the restaurant is overpriced besides being very nice and having great staff. Work in progress. It's not that important.
I'm in love with this place and hope to come back in spring someday to see the green landscape after the rainy season.
Força Gorongosa!

如果你有幸遇到蒙蒂,一位优秀且知识渊博的人将为你提供指导,帮助你发现稀有鸟类,并分享戈龙戈萨重生背后的人文故事。我们必须支持这个项目,因为它将保护区作为一个包括社区和发展在内的整体来对待。这不是一个五大公园:他们几乎没有角马或斑马,没有长颈鹿,我们也没有看到水牛,但我们看到了狮子、大象,令人惊讶的是,水羚、芦苇羚和大羚羊数量众多。这是一个真正的自然爱好者的公园,而不是游乐园或动物园。这是一个意想不到的地方,鸟类种类非常丰富,景观多样而美丽,南非的公园只需要改善一些细节,比如为人们提供自助餐的舒适度:我们错过了一家提供基本食物的小商店、一个正宗的烧烤店、我们大帐篷里的一张桌子,也许还有一台小冰箱。餐厅价格过高,但非常漂亮,员工也很棒。工作正在进行中。这不是那么重要。
我爱上了这个地方,希望有一天春天能再来,看看雨季过后的绿色景观。
Força Gorongosa!
